Just had to...

Keller is saying it was pastrami on Rye at Qiuizzno's

[Byrntrigan]

He's also giving that 5 stars as well.

[Demko]

I've heard that the WWE is bringing up Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken from FCW just to counteract this maneuver by Foley.

[Jack Quinn]

Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken doesn't have NEAR the charisma that Foley has. And those tribal tats, SOOOOOOOO done.

[bdbdbd]

More importantly, "Sweet Onion Teriyaki" Chicken has put on a lot of weight recently. He's nowhere near as lean, quick, impressive as he was when he was "Honey Mustard".

[karmic]

I loved Sweet Onion Teriyaki back when he was was still Honey Mustard. Those were some Classic Meat Trios matches he had with Meatball Marina and Veggie Delight against The Spicy Italian and Chicken and Bacon Ranch.

What are the chances The E signs Black Angus Steak from Quiznos? He's very underrated.

[Tommy]

Meanwhile you've got an All-Time Great D'Angelo's #9 Steak and Cheese Combo TOILING away in ROH and NOBODY GIVES A SHIT!

You people don't know sandwiches. Just because #9 won't "adapt" to the "WWE Style".

[Pun]

Come on, Tommy! The WWE Style is all about flavor! You can get a Steak and Cheese sandwich from anyplace. What makes the #9 so special?

[Tommy]

#9 Steak and Cheese is about QUALITY INGREDIENTS! Hell, people would see Vending Machine Egg Salad Sandwiches if you put enough Mustard on it! We shouldn't have to SETTLE for Egg Salad when we have something like the #9 Steak and Cheese just waiting to hit the big time!

[Outback Frito Pendejo]

Rumor has it #9's cholesterol content might not meet the wellness criteria. Not to mention the cattle hormones rumors.

Here here! I miss plain old regular ham-and-cheese-on-rye. Every once in a while you could do something crazy like cut the crusts off and that would be special, but now it's all foot long this, sweet onion that, blah blah blah. When you have to add bacon to it, you're not even selling the sandwich anymore. You people go to subway where they give you the privilege to pay for crap, I'll hit the corner deli for less money and a better dining experience.

Seriously.

If I want to be ENTERTAINED I'll go see a magician or some shit. I just wanna eat a sandwich. WHY CAN'T I JUST EAT MY SANDWICH?

Shhhhhhh...(damn someone else knows what a #9 is.)

[bdbdbd]

Entertainment has its place, but every sandwich doesn't need 100 ingredients and real sandwich makers used to know that.

[Demko]

Breaking news: Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken has committed sandwicide. He was found eaten in his Atlanta, GA home, alongside his half-eaten wife Bourbon and son McNugget. The Subway Sandwich menu was placed at their heads, and SOTC was found in the basement, near the condiment stand. Apparently, he drowned himself in Lite Mayo before he ate himself to death.

[Pun]

Awesome! Now all we need is Thai swooping in with a picture of a Subway sandwich flying into the Twin Towers.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

THE EXALT TO THE DEMKO~!

[karmic]

Real sandwich makers STILL know that, but they also know WHAT SELLS.

Look, I'm an old school kind of guy - Hell, some of my best memories of sandwiches come from the days when I could enjoy a folded of PB&J, or Balogna with Mayo whenever Corn Chips worked with them...I even loved the offbeat stuff from back in those days like the Miracle Whip sandwich - but the fact is that when Subway came along, they changed the landscape of sandwich making as we know it. Sure, they can be over the top. Sure, they can bland and unexciting - but without Subway coming along and leading the boom in the sandwich industry, a lot of people would never have been exposed to the lesser known companies like Quizno's or D'angelo's. That's not saying they aren't quality sandwiches - I thought the toasted style was something reserved only for pizza sub fans until I was exposed to Quizno's - but let's face facts: They aren't going to equal Subway in terms of recognition, or as a global brand.

Can Subway be boring? Sure, in fact more often than not I prefer my own backyard sandwiches to Subway. Are there better, more compelling and exciting sandwiches out there? Of course there are. But would they exsist and thrive (such as they do) without Subway and it's name recognition out there? I really don't think so. Without Subway's influence, most of these sandwich shops would still be little local places, working for a handful of regulars on the corner. They'd still be good sandwiches, but we'd never know about them.

The open face of the matter is this: Sandwichs have changed since I first got into them. The same goes for a lot of us. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy them anymore as sandwich fans, or that we should begrudge Subway for leading the sandwich boom.

[karmic]

And yes...while I was doing that, Demko divebombs in with a KILLER~

EXALT

That's the thing about balogna with mayo. When we were kids, we loved it. Ate it up. It was everywhere and it was awesome. Now that we're adults, we all realize that there was nothing real to it. Can you go back and honestly tell me that there is anything about bologna that was actually good? I still can't believe balogna is still even around. It was just processed crap wrapped up in a bright yellow and red package with a catchy theme song. It took a long time for people to appreciate sandwiches with real meat again.

The worst part? When balogna was in your fridge for more than a few years, it turned that HORRIBLE orange color.

Oh wait... no, it was that color to begin with.
