REVIEW: Subway Bistro Steak sub (FTDC style)

DMike316 · Post by **DMike316** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:01 pm

Headed to the local Scrubway for lunch to try one of these fukkers out.

I ordered up the foot long and instructed the bread/prep wench to slap the contents on white or Italian bread as to not muck with taste of the contents. I didn't want to chance my taste buds being thrown off by some kind of Parmesan Peppercorn Honey roasted Walnut bread or whatever the fukk they offer.

After they layered the bread with shredded parmesan cheese they spread the garlic seasoned cubed steak pieces (approx. 1/3" cubes) on there. The steak pieces had small pieces of green pepper and small slivers of onions already mixed in. Not too many, just enough to add some flavor.
Then they throw the damn thing into the microwave style "roaster" oven dealio they've been tauting for about 30 seconds.

Next it's down the line to deal with the burned out shitstain in charge of putting items on the sub. I opted for some more green peppers and black olives. The picture they show has tomatoes on it but I've never really been too big on tomatoes on my fukking steak sammich so I told the asshat to hold off on the tomatoes.
They have a special Garlic Bistro steak sauce whipped up just for this thing. I told the "Sandwhich Artist" to put that on half and went with mayonaisse on the other half just to cover all of my options.

All in all, I thought it was pretty decent. The steak was tender and the garlic seasoning was noticeable but not overwhelming. The onion slivers mixed well and the new Garlic bistro sauce was tasty. The half with mayo was also good. I could see Italian dressing working well with this bitch too.

The price of $6.99 was a bit high I thought but those bastards aren't in this for charity.

I would say this gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me and I'd definitely get another one.

Just don't ask for "eye-talian" bread.

It pisses off JCT and practically insures that he'll scratch his butt-crack before putting the blacvk olives on your sandwich

If you're willing to throw 7 bones after a snadwich, give Quizno's a try. Although both joints need to look into some crispy frenchfried pertaters.

I like Subway, but $7.00 for a sammich that doesnt fill me up is is a tough sell these days. I agree w/ WVUFAN in that Quiznos is pretty tasty.

The dude, or skank, that initially takes your order and puts your bread/meat combo in the on deck circle is always the rudest, bitchiest person you will ever encounter in life. The veggie layerer is only slightly happier. I guess because they only have to ask one question, instead of two.

Their new Q sub is purely awesome.

It's always entertaining also to drop a coupon on the cash register person.

Pretty much the usual progression there. You get the "Oh shit, a coupon" look. Total confusion as they start poking randomly at buttons on the register. The register ALWAYS fukks with them to, beeping and shit in a rejecting "YOU'RE A DUMBASS, THAT'S NOT THE COUPON BUTTON" tone.
Then the register person, with your coupon in hand, turns from the register and starts looking for someone else to come help them with their unsolveable dilemna. WHO THE FUKK IS GOING TO COME HELP YOU? The damn bread lady??? The veggie guy??? YOU are the cash register person. YOU are the best and brightest they have to offer. If you're counting on a person whose duties revolve around 6" or foot long and white or wheat to help assist in getting over on the cash register, you're typically screwed.

I know more than once they've just basically tapped out. They'll hit a few buttons, look up you and say "Uhh, a dollar nineteen".
Sure, you got your foot long sub, chips, and a drink for $1.19 but that's like them buying your silence. They know that you know that they're a moron, but the deal is you keep quiet about it and your get your grub for next to nothing.

WAR - coupon confusion

Are you talking about the prime rib? Haven't been to Quizno's in quite a while.

DMike316 · Post by **DMike316** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 7:50 pm

Oh, about Quiznos. Yeah, good subs.
Their Chicken Carbonara is pretty tough to beat although it looks like it could be a sizeable factor in Jimmy Med's health care costs going up.
Frickin' Bacon AND Alfredo sauce. Yeah, that's got "Healthy" written all over it.

The Quiznos here is a little farther out the road and the drive up and back tends to use up a good chunk of my lunch.
I may have to rely on one of you bastards to sack up and review that new Roast Beef sub.

That's when you hit them with the "I want to pay with my debit card" card.

Rack Quiznos...as long as the rat ads stay retired.

Had that bad boy tonight, actually. Concur with Dmike's rating.
Why am I not surprised to find a thread about that particular sandwich at this taco stand?

Subway is as shockingly disappointing as Krispy Kreme.

Cicero · Post by **Cicero** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 7:43 pm

Agree w/ you about Krispy Kremes, but the Glazed from there are off the hizzee fo shizzee.

$6.99 too high? Shit. I drop a 10 spot on the 6'2" giant who seats me in my booster at Ruth's Chris.
