I cheated and I think the answer is going to anger many.

Re: Commercials
Did you say it wasn't Capriotti's? I know they're expanding quite a bit nationally.

Re: Commercials
I took a glance, so I might have read the stats wrong. The site I pulled was pretty confusing (lots of categories mixed together.)

With my sorting criteria it is a place called Newk's Eatery. Never heard of them.

Re: Commercials
Newks is in the South. One near my sister-in-law in Atlanta's burbs. It is an expensive sandwhich, soup, salad. Brighter than Panera but not better.tennbengal wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 10:43 am With my sorting criteria it is a place called Newk's Eatery. Never heard of them.
I was thinking Newks was bought by Cava, but that was Zoe's kitchen.

Re: Commercials
There were two newk's here in town and neither survived the pandemic. One closest to me got replaced by a solid taco shop, whihc I suspect is regional at least - Agave and Rye
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Commercials
I've seen a newks but never once considered stopping to find out what it was. American deli is relatively ubiquitous here. No one has ever purchased a deli sandwich from there.

Re: Commercials
Okay, what the fuck is the deal with the "James Cromwell as Dorian Gray" ad campaign for the job board I can't remember? I don't understand the joke they're trying to make.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: Commercials
Before this thread, I had only even heard of four of them. My little town has a number of places you can get a sub, but only Subway and Jersey Mike’s are on this list.The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 1:42 pmDamn, Subway is the only one I’ve eaten at more than once.

Re: Commercials
this thread says otherwise.
I like Jersey Mike's fine but from the list of top national sandwich chains I would have mcalister's and jason's above it for my preference.
Re: Commercials
I might be assuming more people know that Danny DeVito is like easily in the top five most awesome New Jerseyans ever.
ETA: They should know he’s awesome. They might not know he’s Jersey to the core.

Re: Commercials
The only thing I ask of a sandwich chain is that they make a credible Italian combo. I can make other sandwiches at home. But an Italian combo is too inefficient—it has too many meats I wouldn’t otherwise buy (and provolone, which is useless except in an Italian combo). That is a problem because an Italian combo is also the best sandwich, which also is not up for debate.
I’m familiar with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 from your list and the only one that makes a credible combo is Jersey Mike’s. I’m not a snob—I’ve had good sandwiches at all of them except for Jimmy John’s which is execrable. I’ll eat any of them except for JJ’s unless it is the caterer for a CLE and even then I might just grab the chips. But JMs is definitely on another level when it comes to combos.

Re: Commercials
There's another sub shop that isn't getting any love as of yet (surprising given the # of swampers in NJ).

Re: Commercials
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it. Looks like it’s all over the Philly area, and a few in areas of North Jersey I don’t go to.EnochRoot wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 8:41 pm There's another sub shop that isn't getting any love as of yet (surprising given the # of swampers in NJ).

Re: Commercials
Primos is pretty great, and I still go there down at the shore sometimes. Really good bread. There used to be one on 22 near the Springfield/Union border. Which might as well be the other side of hell on a weekend afternoon.The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 10:50 pmCan’t say I’ve ever heard of it.

Re: Commercials
I like Primos a lot, but frankly I find the bread a little too crusty. It’s fine if there’s a crunch on the outer shell, but it’s got to be doughy inside. I know they’re proud of it though, so I assume I’m in the minority on that front.rass wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:49 amPrimos is pretty great, and I still go there down at the shore sometimes.

All their Italian variants are good / very good (personal fave being the Sharp Italian). Wife gets all in on it too with the Nonna’s Veggies.

The fact that there is a local place on the same side of town as our JM that makes very similar sandwiches for about 1/2 the price is Mike's fault. Just wish that place was open Sundays, which is my primary "I want a sub for lunch" day of the week.
I do love that if someone says "the sub place with the grumpy old man making the sandwiches" a lot of people in town will know exactly what they're talking about.

Re: Commercials
The best sub is an Italian grinder from Louie's in Rehoboth. I was in Dewey this weekend and fucked up by not just going by myself and grabbing one. (Big group and meals were all "kind of a thing."

Now I think I'm having my favorite sandwich in Houston today. No pickles, but keep the chow chow.

That looks perfect as is. Side note, my wife has taken to adding chow chow as a garnish lately. Not sure I'd heard of it before a few months ago.
