| - As a general rule, I'm not a fan of subs. I'm more of a hot meal person. But I decided to give the new Jersey Mike's a try since it was on my way to work and I had a coupon for a free sub. Free food always tastes better than paid for food.
I was pleasantly surprised upon entering this fine establishment. It was clean, uncrowded and the staff was alert and friendly; not like the listless nubes they have at Subway, staring into space wondering where they went wrong in life and mentally planning your demise. Jersey Mikes hires future CEOs. The kind of people that will take over major corporations while briefly reflecting on a simpler time spent making sandwiches for assholes like me.
I ordered the Supreme Club, which is basically a club sandwich plus roast beef. They have a production line setup and my sub was made within 30 seconds. I got it "Mike's Way" which means they put lettuce, tomato, onions and a special vinaigrette with herbs on it. (Mine was no onions, add pickles). I exchanged my coupon for the sub and my happy ass was out the door. I got to work, threw my lunch in the fridge and went about my business.
I retrieved my east coast sub 2 hours later and was disappointed to discover that the bottom bun was mostly mush, due to grease seepage. Bummer. It did not, however, affect the taste. The sub was still delicious. Best cold meal I've had in awhile. I recommend eating right away if you opt for the special vinaigrette.
Kudos Jersey Mike's. I will be back with my coupons. And my opinions.
