Is a Subway footlong worth the money?

[StatGuy2000]

Ramen seems pretty hot now. In Austin there are a few hot places Tetsuya Ramen and Jinya to name a couple. We've been to Jinya, it's very upscale and the ramen while really good is somewhat pricey but it's really good. We recently had tonkotsu black at $13 a bowl and it was delicious.

Ramen is also quite hot in Toronto, where several ramen shops have opened up, particularly near the downtown core -- which is a boon for me, as I love ramen (being half-Japanese, I grew up with ramen). Pho is also quite popular in this city as well.

(To the mods: am I allowed to provide names of restaurants that I would recommend here, as well as links to their websites? Or is that a violation of PF forum rules?)

We've allowed links to major chains before answering questions about food. It's never come up about small food shops before. Yes, it's fine, go ahead and list them.

Thanks for the clarification!

As a follow-up to my earlier post, here are ramen shops I would recommend in Toronto (to the mods: please feel free to separate this into another thread):

1. Konnichiwa (http://konnichiwa.ca)

2. Touhenboku Ramen (http://www.touhenboku.ca/)

3. Kinton Ramen (http://www.kintonramen.com)

For those PF members living in Toronto, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for Vietnamese restaurants serving pho.

And back to the original topic:

To those PF members living in Toronto -- any suggestions for good sandwich places that is an alternative to Subway? The only place I know of that I can recommend is Lettieri (located at Bayview Village).

You're making me cry thinking of the sandwich place nearby , that used a carving board to make sandwiches in front of you, absolutely amazing ones, that decided to abandon the fresh sandwiches and just sell pre-fabs. Sorry, I just needed to let it out to recover.

I think there are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants in California and Texas.

No, there are none.

Dave, I'm assuming you're being sarcastic (sarcasm doesn't translate well on Internet forums).

Because you can't be seriously suggesting that there are no good sandwich places in Toronto, are you?

Likely expensive ones. Customers look for cheap or even free yet clean ones.

I wasn't factoring price into this. At any rate, there is a tremendous variability in the prices of restaurants and eateries in Toronto, and (at least from my own experience) there is only a very weak correlation between price and quality.

Anyone noticed the "resemblance" between "Jared," Subway's former spokesman, and "X," Sprint's latest peddler?

Yes, actually. But is that important and helpful in resolving both current and future subway footlong issues ?

 

[Bystander]

important and helpful

Really don't know --- ad campaigns come and go but, given comments in this thread regarding the franchise and by extension the franchise "parent company," the "resemblance" just reminds me that complaints about quality of bread(s), freshness of ingredients, might have more to do with "corporate policy" than I was originally (in my unreminded state) willing to consider.

It seems the first three letters of your description of Jared apply to something else about Jared.
