WeIl, as I've said before, there are independent, Mom and Pop pizza and sub shops on every corner in my area. Not many chains. We have Subways, but I've never ordered a sub from them.
The BEST subs are in an Italian grocer/deli in the next town over, Bob's Market. I always get the imported Italian on a braided roll.
The next best sub is in my town at Dom's Sausage.
In both stores, they have lots of important ingredients, without filling up the sandwich with lettuce.
Both stores have incredible steak, lamb, turkey tip subs, as well as the usual sub subjects.
