I gotta say, I never got the Jersey Mike's hype. Their stuff wasn't all that good even before they were bought out.
Same. Did they have a secret menu or something? The first and only time I went to one, they had pretty basic-ass subs and they were expensive as fuck.
Some areas of the country only have exposure to sub-par sammies. That's it. I've been slugging down quality hoagies since a young age and found Jersey Mike's to be so underwhelming, and - even without considering how overpriced it is - I only tried it once.
Must be people who don't know what a sub should be
Mike's bread sucks, to start with. Then whatever they put in it has no flavor.
I mean, you could order any combination of what they have. I used to get the 56 with the chipotle mayo from the 43. A 99 (since they numbered everything that's what we would do).
It was down the street from work so we'd hit it once every week or two. It wasn't bad. I have no idea what it is now and all my opinions are based on what I remember from years and years ago.
