Not all subs are created equal. Some chain places don't serve traditional subs, they serve lettuce heavy salads on bread with a slice or two of meat. I do not visit these places. One of my previous jobs offered a free meal to coders on a project and I refused after finding out that the sandwich was from one of these locations. I have standards; I don't eat crap even if it's free. But a sub from a little supermarket is not a good indicator of what I would say is a typical American sub sandwich. You have to go to a proper deli. The difference is that a proper deli is not using low quality meats. If the sandwich is stuffed with meat then chances are it's cheap, low-quality meat that you probably shouldn't eat anyway. Then there are the other ingredients that a proper deli would have. Also, for future reference, almost all American fast food chains lie in their presentations.
