Same. You can get firehouse for the same price as subway here. It's a no brainer. We still have a few quiznos around as well, which are marginally better than subway. I can't imagine why anyone would visit one anymore outside of it literally being the only option in the immediate area.

There used to be a Firehouse literally 7 minutes from where I live, but it closed a few years ago. :( That used to be my go-to sandwich place, now I've settled for Jersey Mike's (which I expect to start enshittifying now that some holding company or whoever bought them).

Once that happens, I'll just go back to ordering subs from Italian places. You pay $20 for a 16"-18" sub, sure, but you at least get what feels like $20 worth of food.

Jersey Mike's is my chain goto.

Jersey Mike's is pointless since they got rid of the griddle (and thus all hot sandwiches). RIP Chicken Parm sub. Jersey Mike's is dead to me.

All of them in my area have the grilled hot sandwiches.

Yeah that guy just lives in Iowa, his Jersey Mike's doesn't have heating because they regressed to the point they don't have access to electricity anymore.

But hey, at least all the ingredients are more or less farm fresh. If they weren't they'd be rotten. Some of them do get a little "over-ripe", of course, but not usually to the point of food poisoning.

Damn, they’re gonna have a lot of catching up to do before Kirk is born there

Good to know because we border Iowa. I stopped going to Jimmy John's because their turkey always tasted a little old like it was just starting to get slimy.
