We're going to skip
right over talking about this company's awful ad campaigns (remember
the blowdart-to-the-neck commercial?) and get right to the food. The
place makes subs. It's that simple. But they toast 'em. Big deal,
you think, any idiot can run a piece of bread through an oven, right?
But unlike their non-toasting competition, Quizno's actually bothers
to put together sandwich combos with veggies, cheese, different breads
and decent sauces. They don't leave it up to the tasteless public
to pile high their subs with hot peppers, cucumbers, jalapenos and
other such silliness. I get the smoked turkey on rosemary parmesan
bread, which absolutely rocks. The sandwich has this roasted red pepper
sauce that really adds great flavor to the smokiness, Swiss cheese
and red onion. Seems like someone actually did their homework. The
whole thing is crispy and I'm sure not in the slightest dietetic.
The weird thing about this place is that it is constantly filled with
smoke from the conveyor belt full of subs toasting in the back. We
would suggest not wearing anything that soaks up smells easily, or
is highly flammable. This is the only franchise I've seen in the city,
but when I was out in LA recently, they were more prevalent than our
old friend Subway. If you're looking for
a cheaper, lower-fat option, then you might want to stick with Jared's
choice, but if you want flavor, higher quality food and something
that'll actually fill you up for more than two hours, walk on in to
the new kid on the block. [MF]
