I only eat subway a few times a year, since you can find them anywhere. 2am in a hospital, 100 miles from anything else in a little gas station off the highway.

The bread is often the worst thing about the sandwich. It can be dry, or soggy, burnt...the people that ‘bake’ the bread don’t really care much about it and often can’t take it out when the oven is done because they are making sandwiches.
On the other hand, my favorite place to get a sub sandwich buys bread from a bakery in town, and when they run out of bread, they close for the day. Why have someone who’s not skilled at making bread, make mediocre bread?
- artificial 6y agoIt just wouldn’t be peak corporatism without outsourcing the core elements of a business to those least qualified. I think it’s a natural thing, companies get senile, makes room for hungry upstarts.
- klodolph 6y agoSubway also got those toasters because Quizno's had 'em, but Subway didn't really alter the sandwich recipes and what you end up with is some hot, dried-out bread that cuts your mouth.
- millstone 6y agoLast I checked Quiznos uses an electric broiler, while Subway is a combo broiler + microwave. The microwave is faster, but makes the sandwich unappealing (though hot). My Quiznos experience is now years old and maybe they've gone the microwave route too; I hope not.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoReally? I mean, I can certainly understand not liking the bread, but my experience has been the exact opposite - the bread has been "industrial quality control" consistent whenever I've been to a Subway, meaning it always tastes exactly the same. In line with the article, I also think it's too sweet for sandwich bread, but I've never had it soggy or burnt.
