Not just the worst excuse for a sub in my 65 years of Subs, Hoagies, Grinders, depending non region, but the worst excuse for anything I've ever eaten.
We collectively agreed.
Not because the group was spoiled and hailed from DC, Philadelphia, and Boston, but just plain lousy.Oversize white bread, they wouldn't toast it since there was tuna( duh, Subway toasts then adds the tuna and non-toastables)
high scores for indigestion (within minutes) lowest score for taste, looks, palatability, texture.
We'd have to be on a desert island to get one again.
I had to laugh to keep from crying.
We've had far better food from Subway except for the one in Sumter landing - hope that place got better.

Jersey Mike's isn't known for its tuna. And they have a few different varieties of bread. It sounds like you just made some poor choices and are upset about it. My first sub ever came from the first Subway ever, in the Bridgeport CT area where they were founded. I grew up on Subway subs. And I say - as someone who's been eating Subway subs since around 1968 (they were founded in 1965), they're not all that great. They're just convenient. Jersey Mike has fewer condiment options, but they have hot relish, which Subway lacks. Their pickles are also MUCH better, crisper and more flavorful rather than just a bite of limp, slightly crunchy vinegar.
Also, Subway doesn't have a grill at all. Jersey Mike's makes pretty decent steak and cheese subs. Subway's "hot" subs are all pre-cooked and simply convection-heated til the cheese melts and the edges of the bread turn brown.
Neither of them make "good" Italian subs. They make "edible" Italian subs.
