| - Ok, without disclosing my "mature" age, safe to say I have been eating cheeseburgers and sub sandwiches for over 40 years. YIKES! I had seen some of Jimmy John's signage on buses...A little over the top but innovative. Yesterday the work crew was unsuspectingly hoodwinked into attending a motivation seminar at the Thomas & Mack that was a mix of religious evangelism, tin salesman and how many sheep can you fit in one room.
At around 11:30am I realized that I was not buying Jesus half-off so let the boss know I was going to take a long lunch. Since this was at the Thomas&Mack and I quickly realized that after the event collected our precious $10 for parking, those attendants were long gone by 11am and I better leave my car parked and go for a walk.
I texted the g/f for lunch ideas and she informed me there was a nearby Metro Pizza...YAY! She always eats there so I wanted to give it a shot. I walked to the intersection of Maryland Parkway and Trop and looked towards Smart and Final but did not recognize or see Metro. So, I asked a hip-looking college girl for directions thinking they know all the good eateries. She pulled out her ear-buds and quickly remarked that Metro was closed up. What? Turns out they weren't but my hunger precipitated a quick Plan B.
As I started to stroll north on Maryland Parkway, I noticed this JJ's tucked into a dive strip mall 200 yards from actual Parkway next to a ethnic grocery. Seemed like a strange location for such a well-branded sub shop.
Nice layout when you walk with a large menu. Everyone is friendly and they greet you. I was not sure what the difference was between their "sub" or their "club" with a $1 price difference. Turns out they are all subs but the "clubs" have more meat, etc. I got some sort of ham sub on a white roll with salt/vinegar chips and drink for $8 and some change. They have an upstairs seating area for about 20 people which is nice.
If I have eaten a gillion subs, with this economy it seems everyone is trying to get sneaky. One way is to sell you their branded chips with about 8 chips in the bag. JJ's chip bag was a real bag of chips.
Would I consider this a "gourmet" sandwich? NO. Was it good? Yes. I also respect their location. Why pay premium rent to be right on Maryland Parkway. SInce this is the UNLV 'hood, the percentage of pedestrians and cars might actually be 50/50. So, if they are banking on good food at a decent price, these kids will find the place as I did.
