| - A few people have told me that I need to try Firehouse Subs, so I finally got my chance today after a meeting up in Glendale . This place has some unique concepts in both the food and décor. They have a huge selection of hot sauces lined up to try, plus they provide small sauce cups to fill if you are getting it to go. They also have the fancy new coke soda fountains that allow you to create your own blends of soda. Of course, they also have several firehouse decorations and dedications to fire departments.
I chose to try the Italian sub, which had the usual combination of Italian meats and provolone. I let them make it as described on the menu, plus their "Fully Involved" combination of toppings. I sort of missed the part that they serve almost all their subs warm, and I was actually picking it up about an hour before I was going to have lunch, so I feel like I can't accurately judge it. I think it would have definitely been better fresh at the shop. The flavors of the sandwich were more sweet than spicy, which I found a bit odd. I tried the house hot sauce and Thai garlic hot sauce to spice it up. The Thai was good with it, but the house hot sauce again I found to be very sweet. For my drink I tried their special Cherry Limeade, and once again found this very sweet, not tangy at all. The dill pickle was great and I love that they sell the old 5 gallon pickle buckets to support their charity, and for $2 a bucket that is cheaper than the hardware stores! I would say they make a good solid sub and I will be back to try some other subs in the future, and eat them fresh and warm next time. I'll also pick up a couple buckets!
