I'm eating a Jimmy John's sub right now.

[Tactical Funky]

Mmm, mmm...

Delicious, bitch! :drool:

[Hootie]

Nah, it's a midwest thing. It's HUGE in Illinois. I think it all originated in Charleston, Illinois. It's quite the sandwich. They tear the middle out of the bread. Sounds weird, heh? It's quite good though.

Hmm next time I'm in KC... I'm all over it. I love a good sub.

[Hootie]

The Togo's here in Champaign is so funny. It's ran by a bunch of non English speaking Indians. The drive-thru is actually a recording of a white guy talking...so you're like, "yeahhh..." and then they don't understand a word you say, and your order is always ****ed up...so I tend to stay away.

[Hootie]

Hmm next time I'm in KC... I'm all over it. I love a good sub.
Funny thing is...I didn't think KC had Jimmy John's. If so, there are probably not very many.

There's about 1,000 in Illinois where I live.

Sonic used to be famous only in Texas. However, it's spread around quite a bit. Maybe Jimmy John's will do the same?

[Postal_clone]

They have one here in Dead Moines....... but never had one. They any good?????

Im pretty sure they are all over. At least they had them in Texas and they have some up here in Colorado.

I had my first Sonic burger last week down there. I'll still take a Whataburger over any of the other chains.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

#12 from JJ on their 7 grain bread is the bomb.

That's how Rodney Dangerfield made his sandwich in the house party scene in Back to school.

[greg63]

I don't like Sonic.


They're union rings are good.

[Hootie]

They're union rings are good.
I ate it once and got extremely sick the next day. I refuse to ever go back.

[KChiefsQT]

Whataburger onion rings are the absolute best. And there #1's with grilled onions. mmmmmm mmm mmmmm

[greg63]

I ate it once and got extremely sick the next day. I refuse to ever go back.

Yeah, they use an enormous amount of grease in the preparation of their food; you gotta develop a cast iron stomach in order to appreciate it.


...Not too healthy at all.

The chicken strips with fries were always my drunk food of choice from there. Only downside of that place is they can be painfully slow sometimes.

[Skip Towne]

Hmm next time I'm in KC... I'm all over it. I love a good sub.
Hey, QT, have you ever been to KC? Have you ever had Bryant's Bar B Q? I'll bet not. You'd leave sub sandwiches like Moses left the Jews.

[KChiefsQT]

AI'm not sure if we went to Bryants. Is it a fancy one??? We went to one of those fancy ones that actually was recommended by a planet member my first thread here.

[CHIEF4EVER]

Burnt Ends from LC's are still numbah one GI.

[greg63]

Eh, I don't mind waiting if it means they'll get it right; it's when I wait a long time and they still get it wrong is when I get up, get my money back and loudly announce that I am going to eat at a competitors restaurant.

[Skip Towne]

No, no, no, Bryant's is in a really bad neighborhood, 17th and Brooklyn. It is about 5 blocks south of old Municipal Stadium where the longest NFL game ever was played. Chiefs v.Dolphins on Christmas Day. Bryant's got famous because "Old Munis" as we called it had no parking. The neighborhood is entirely black and us honkies had to pay 50 cents to park in their yards. But as we walked up Brooklyn Ave, we smelled that heavenly smoke that Arthur Bryant produced. So today, if you go to Bryant's at the noon hour you will wait in a line clear out the door. And it is nothing but rich white dudes with their knockout "secretaries" in line in front of you. It is the best restaurant in the world. Calvin Trillin of the New York Daily News named it that.

That definitely wasn't the place then. Looks like I'll have to hit it up next time around.

Skip's so yesterday.

You don't have to go to Brooklyn Ave anymore. They built one out by the Speedway in Wyandotte County.
Atmosphere is much different, but the food is still Bryant's.

[CoMoChief]

Had Goodcents for dinner, can't beat the penny club.


Very true. Subway and JJ dont even compare to Goody's subs.

[CoMoChief]

The new JJ commercial has Donky Lips (remember him, from Salute Your Shorts?) and people are making fun of his small penis.

[Uncle_Ted]

Very true. Subway and JJ dont even compare to Goody's subs.

Ok, Subway I'll give you, but Goodcents better than JJ's? Drop the crack pipe and back away slowly ...

[Tactical Funky]

Whoa, I come back and this thread has more replies than I expected.

I guess JJ's is gettin' the love they deserve. :)

There is a difference. I can taste it. Plus they don't give you near as many fries, and they charge you a quarter for every extra slice of bread you want.

[jspchief]

[Saulbadguy]

I don't know about that. Subway uses pre-packaged meats and their staff are always scum of the earth. Goodcents slices their meats fresh, but they only put a couple ounces of meat on the sandwich itself. JJ's has pretty good bread IMO, the best of the 3. Too much lettuce on the sandwiches though.

I like Jersey Mike's (a bit pricey), or Planet Sub (Yello Sub in Lawrence).

JJ's is too expensive for the amount of sub you are getting IMO though.

Best meats - Goody's
Best bread - Subway
Better combination subs - JJ's
Best for your buck - Goody's (unless its Tuesday, then Subway wins hands down).

[HC_Chief]

The only Jimmy John's in the area is on 23rd, in Larryville. Wish they would open one up in KC (preferably in OP ;))

There's a Jersey Boyz near my home.... mmmmmm goood :thumb:

[Donger]

Burnt Ends from LC's are still numbah one GI.

Number one GI? Gastro-intestinal?

[Baby Lee]

JJ's goes with the basics

White/Wheat
Roast Beef/Turkey/Ham
Lettuce/Tomato/Onion

But their 'basics' are always top notch.

No asiago stone-gound chipotle coulis, just basic good subs.

[Saulbadguy]

That's why I dislike Subway. That, and the food sucks. But mostly that.

This is the outfit with the fast talking commercial guys, right? I'll have to try them next time I'm in KC.

Saul said it wasn't as good you hayshaker.

[Saulbadguy]

Saul said it wasn't as good you hayshaker.
It is still very good, but just a little different. The fries aren't as greasy, the meat tastes a tad different (perhaps from a different pit?), and you don't slide across the floor of the bathroom when you are trying to take a piss.

Also the line doesn't move as quickly because the staff there aren't nearly as rude as they are at the original. If you don't submit your order in a timely manner at the original the staff yells at you.

"WHAT YOU EATIN?" "WHAT YOU DRINKIN?" "FRIES?"

It's all those things that make it Bryant's. After Arthur died the new mgt. cleaned it up and nearly ruined it.

[kepp]

bahhh.. don't think i'll be headed to illinois anytime soon. Is that like a texas... whataburger thing. Those burgers are to DIE FOR!!!!!!!!! I don't know why Cali hasn't picked up on them yet.
When it comes to burgers, you can't beat In-and-Out.

As far as subs go, my favorite chain is Quiznos and my favorite "hole-in-the-wall" place is Yellow Sub in Lawrence.

[rageeumr]

BS... 43rd and Roanoke. Right near Westport.

Quizno's is awful. I don't even consider that a sub place. It's more like Schlotzky's. They put SALAD DRESSING on their sandwiches, that's just wrong, and disgusting.

FWIW, "Yello Sub" is not a hole-in-the-wall. It's a regional chain now, with locations in Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and quite a few in Kansas, including several in Wichita, KC, and 1 in Topeka, and Manhattan. They are called "Planet Sub", though. Very good subs.

[KCfaninOK]

JJ's is the sh**.

You can't beat 30 second subs and 15 minute deliveries!

[58-4ever]

JJ's is the sh**.

I'll have to disagree. Jimmy John's is as bland as a sub comes. I'll never go there again, b/c there's so many other good choices on campus corner. Moe's, Pita Pit, and even Mr. Goodcent's

[Saulbadguy]

Pita Pit is awesome. Falafel with tztatziki, and feta cheese.

Or some babaganoush. ;)

[wutamess]

And Popeyes knocks them all out the box.

[jspchief]

I'll have to disagree. Jimmy John's is as bland as a sub comes. I agree. They are good subs, but in comparison to other sub shops, they are very vanilla.

The way I see it, every sub shop is different enough that they don't compare. Sometimes I'm in the mood for Subway, and nothing else will cut it. Other times it's a JJs, or maybe Blimpie. They just make different enough sandwiches that I don't think they are interchangeable.

[jspchief]

And Popeyes knocks them all out the box.Des Moines just got their first Popeyes and the place is a friggin gold mine. It has to be the busiest fast food joint in town.

The chicken is average, but I love their sides.

[DaKCMan AP]

We're a college town, so of course we have JJ's. However, as chains go:

Firehouse > Panera > Jimmy Johns > Subway > Quiznos > Pita Pit > ABC

[Hootie]

Quizno's has one good sub, the Classic Italian. Jimmy John's I can crave, but I get sick of it real easy. Goodcents is good, but it reminds me too much of that shit shop Blimpie's. Subway I can never get sick of.

I go in sub phases. Right now I'm in my Subway phase.

[KCTitus]

Must be regional, but, the Subway's around here really suck. Quiznos is much better quality sandwich.

Just opened was Penn Station subs, never tried them before.

[Pitt Gorilla]

The Beach Club is very good.

Penn Station is very good as well.

I live on campus, so most Subway workers are U of I students, so the quality isn't as 'white-trashy' as a lot of Subway's in the city.

[KCChiefsMan]

I've been known to pick up a Jimmy John's sub after a night out at the bars....I like the #10

[Baby Lee]

Just opened was Penn Station subs, never tried them before.
Penn Station I would characterize as, . . . decadent. Salty, spicy, greasy, yummy.

[KCTitus]

[KChiefsQT]

Ever since I read this thread last night I've been craving a good sandwhich... so I stopped by Togo's on my lunch and was more than pleased!! mmm mm

[CHENZ A!]

It's all those things that make it Bryant's. After Arthur died the new mgt. cleaned it up and nearly ruined it.

I completely agree with you guys, AB's is the best BBQ I've ever had, and I've been to the one at Ameristar(wasn't the same). The only thing is I wish they opened earlier on Sundays, because the only times we get it before Chiefs games are 3 PM starts or night games. Had it on Opening day for the Royals this yr, Beef and Frie= heaven.

just might have to go before tonights game.. :hmmm:

[RealSNR]

I'm a fan of the honey-mustard chicken sub at Quizno's, actually.

JJ's puts too much extra shit on their subs for my taste.

[Baby Lee]

WTF? Meat Cheese Veggies and Mayo. Their hook is simplicity.
I guess if you don't like veggies, but it's not like they have a gun to your head.

[Reaper16]

I'm not a sub person, really. That said, I really love Quiznos' meatball sub. And I've been meaning to try Subway's Chicken Parmesean.
