Bread machines are awesome.

Not a baker, but I want to start making my own breads soon.

Firehouse or Jersey Mikes are both goated. It depends on what type of sub I want but I typically lean Firehouse if given the option.

I had stopped going to Jersey Mike’s because every time I went in, they were out of bread. But lately they’ve been doing really good and I like their tuna. We have a Which Wich nearby and that’s pretty good except they always seem to heat it when I want it cold and give it cold when I want it hot. Subway makes me gag.

Went to a Firehouse today based on this thread.

Wildly disappointed.

 

It wasn't horrible but it was small for the money and as much bread as meat.

Jersey Mike's just for their cheese steak which is the best and most like the cheese steaks I had when I lived in Philly years ago.

For my family - Jersey Mikes.  Ours nearby is really good and my wife likes the GF bread.  I like Jimmy Johns, but they suck at the GF stuff for the wife.  Last one I had on a work day was meh, but we used to love JJs.

Honestly, it really depends on who works at the shop.  Our JM has great folks who do a good job.  The JM near my work sucks ass because people are lazy and don't care.  The Wich Witch at CCM is pretty meh as well.  OK, but I don't need to go back.

As far as the make your own: still spending your time and money.  I'm fine paying for convivence.

Really enjoy Schlotzky's. Though Jersey Mikes is a close second.

Publix pub subs

My reason for choosing Jersey Mikes is their MONTH OF GIVING.  Pick your state,,  see the charities Jersey Mike is giving to.   https://www.jerseymikes.com/mog/charities   .

When you see  N C ,  you'll see one of the larger, or largest is the over $417,000 given to UNC Health Fitch Family Comprehensive Pediatric Rehabilitation  Program .  Jersey Mike has given over 1 million  dollars to this program.   North Carolina didn't have a pediatric rehab facility  when my grandson was hit by a car 2 years ago. He had to be transported to the Children Hospital of Atlanta for 9 weeks to help him recover from a traumatic brain injury when hit by an automobile in Chapel Hill NC .  So I thank all the patrons of Jersey Mikes .  On one day of the month, over 2500 Jersey Mikes give 100% to their charities.  

The good news is,, while my grandson is still dealing with some things others don't have to deal with in life, he is recovering and made his Little League All Star team, who won the N C Little League title this year in Franklin NC .  We have all just returned from the Southeast Regionals in Warner Robins Georgia where the teams journey ended in the double elimination tournament. It's a great ride for these 12 year old's.

 Thanks Jersey Mike's for all the Charities you contribute to. Yes I eat there also.

Picture below is my grandson at bat Friday against SC little League.

Always been a Jersey Mikes fan myself.

 

I been to Firehouse but only had the meatball sub which is pretty damn good!

 

Subway disappoints every time. Can't believe that was our go to during my teenager years.

Oh man I forgot about Publix!

 

That chicken tender sub is probably the best sub I ever had in life!

I would guess it comes from the same place the sub sandwich shops get theirs. Might be warehoused differently at some locations.
