The boiled steak was a Subway in Seabrook NH and was probably 20 years ago but once your told that, you never go back to see if things have changed.

Sounds like someone told you wrong 20 years ago. Subway steak has NEVER been boiled, it's steak. And on the menu panels in the stores the option to add double meat is listed.

And this shouldn't be confused with the BMT, which is also a cold cut combo (just not "the" Cold Cut Combo).

BMT: big, meaty, tasty.

Ham, genoa, slicing pepperoni, provolone cheese.
On the occasion when I get one, I add lettuce, pickle, onion, green pepper, olives, oil and vinegar, salt and pepper, and oregeno. On white italian.

I definitely like Publix subs better but when I don't want to wait 20 minutes in line to order the sandwich, 10 minutes for them to actually make it, and another 15 minutes to pay for it, I go to Subway.

By the way, if you want chips and a drink with your cold cut combo, you need to order a "cold cut combo combo".

Combo combo new one on me but what if you want the chips without the drink?

Is that a less than combo combo?

Some may think it sacrilege but try it toasted!

Actually, yes. They filed for bankruptcy in 2004, were subsequently bought out of bankruptcy and the assets sold again in 2006. The name still exists but it's not the original Schlotskys.

Toasted is a good way to disguise stale bread

I'm fine with it being toasted, but that's when I need to add the anchovies and hot pepper relish.

True story:

In all my years of having Subway subs, I've only experienced a stale sub maybe a handful of times, ever. And since they usually don't even ask you if you want it toasted or not until after they've started putting all the meat on it, THEY have no way of knowing in advance to give you the stale one.

That’s funny, I was at original Schlotskys as late as 2013. And did so for 20 years prior. Yes maybe corporate has changed hands, but there are still local owners selling same sandwiches. But, I haven’t been back there in 5 years so? I guess you could say that about lots of chain restaurants. I guess some go wildcat and change name, but still keep similar menu’s?

Thinking people recognize that The Onion is the finest investigative journalism on earth. Their expose' on female menstrual cycle was riveting.

Around here, Publix for subs and fried chicken.

The only worthwhile sub at Subway is tuna with gobs of mustard for flavor...I order a footlong for myself and I always throw half of it out because I am not a fool.

Oh, puleeze. I thought better of you. Toasting is an option.

Especially since they don't *actually* toast it. They stick it in a convection oven that crisps up the top surface and melts the cheese. As long as they don't put it on the wrong setting or leave it in too long, the rest of the bread is just as squishy as it was before they put it in the oven.
