You Are What You Eat




Being an average guy can be very taxing on the body. In order to maintain a kinda healthy lifestyle, you gotta make sure sometimes you eat sorta the right stuff. So, today I'm going to give you my take on the incredibly okay sandwich shop, Subway.


Of course, I ordered an American classic...The Subway Club.


Let's check out the service, presentation, and taste.


Service:

So, we've all been to subway. You walk in to that awkward what-you-hope-is-bread smell and you see a fellow pretty okay dude like the one pictured below. We call these people, "sandwich artists."
For the safety of the artist's identity, we will call him Kinkade
 I walked up to Kinkade and he greeted me with a gentle "What's up, man." See, I like that. If he said something like "Hi, welcome to Subway, how may I help you?" I would feel like an ordinary customer. Kinkade didn't see me as another customer, but as a fellow man. How noble. Without asking what meat I wanted on it, he proceeded to shove the Italian loaf full of roast beef, turkey, ham, and, most of all, love. I could tell Kinkade and I were going to get along just fine. As I placed my order, he smiled in agreement, picked up his brush, and created art.

Presentation:

When I got home to feast, I unsheathed my excalibur of a sandwich, and sat in mild awe.

Behold the Glory that is Subway
As you can see, Kinkade did a stellar sub-par job with this sandwich. They were nice enough to rip the paper right where the sandwich split, so my hands got a nice little Sriracha shower. How refreshing. On the sandwich, I asked for lettuce and bell peppers. As you can see, Kinkade (with his artistic prowess), decided to put the lettuce and tomato on the side of the sandwich as a garnish. Classy move, subway. Classy move.

Taste:

When I bit into the sammy, I was overwhelmed with a very average flavor. The lettuce was beautifully wilted, the cheese was distributed unevenly, and the creamy Sriracha sauce did a great job drowning out any bad flavors. Great eat.

My Conclusion:

If you're looking for a simple sandwich that will leave you questioning why you didn't just make one yourself, this place is for you. It feels like it was created for average guys like me. The service was average, the presentation was underwhelming, and it tasted like a sandwich. What more could you ask for? All in all, if I could describe Subway in a couple words - it was pretty okay.
