Trying Italian Sandwiches at Subway, Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's; Best
Business Insider • • business
Key Points:
- The classic Italian sub typically includes fresh ham, a dry meat like salami or capocollo, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and oil and vinegar, sometimes with added herbs like oregano.
- Jersey Mike's Original Italian sub impressed with generous portions of fresh, sliced meats and classic toppings, priced at about $2 per inch; however, the meat dominance made the sandwich quite salty.
- Jimmy John's Italian Night Club was toasted unexpectedly, resulting in soggy bread and warm, wilted vegetables; the inclusion of mayonnaise was criticized as unnecessary and detracted from the sandwich.
- Subway's B.M.T. offered a balanced amount of meats and fresh ingredients without sogginess, though the flavor was considered bland and the sandwich included unwanted mayonnaise.
- Overall, Jersey Mike's Italian sub was favored for its quality and value despite higher cost, while Jimmy John's disappointed due to preparation issues, and Subway's was satisfactory but unremarkable.
