Mmm! Here is supper, breakfast and lunch. Over a foot long and 5" wide, loaded with mushrooms, ripe olives, green peppers, jalapeno rings, onions, lettuce, kosher dill slices, cheese and tomato. I have to cut it into manageable pieces just to be able to eat it. Three meals for $5.99. The local butcher shop added a deli, and they are making a name for themselves.

Nice veggie sub! I prefer meat though.

Here's half of my 2 foot long $4.98 sub, and yes, that meat is over an inch thick all two feet. Wish it wasn't blurred.

You don't play around when it comes to your protein sources huh?!

I just had a delicious oven-baked meatball and penne thing... yum.

Now I want a hoagie...

One of my un-favorite Rachel Raye-isms! I love vegetable subs, especially with lots of chilies, mushrooms, ripe olives, etc. Tracy doesn't scrimp on those expensive ingredients. She's only about 2 miles from a Subway, that will be doomed once the word gets out.

Veggie subs are my favorite! As a kid, I used to just like them with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and cheese. Now yours looks like something I'd happily inhale... and the olives... ahhhh.

I wouldn't buy anything from subway, they're too stingy. Jimmy Johns and Walmart are the best IMO.

What would have made that veggie sub good would be grilled vegetables. Now THAT would have made a great sub! You might want to suggest that to her, a sub of toppings without the meat might not pull people in.

After the expansion is concluded, WalMart might have sandwiches. Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust buying sandwiches from them any more than I would trust buying salads from a grocery chain with a produce department. If it's old or partially spoiled, it's prime for the salad bar. The produce department manager's salary and bonuses are highly dependent on reducing the amount of produce that (s)he has to discard.

Tracy does a good job on subs that feature meat, and she really packs them. My wife had a meatball sub tonight with tomato sauce, and it looked and smelled fantastic. Tracy and her husband make all their own sausages, and smoke hams, bacon, etc, in their own smoke-house. It's hard to beat that. If you order a BLT at her shop, the bacon was smoked in their own smoke-house, and the vegetables came in fresh daily, as did the rolls. That's a lot better than ordering a sandwich at a supermarket.

Nah, they have a fully staffed deli, with prime meats and cheeses, fresh produce, they bake the bread there fresh daily.

I sent Evo Chiild to Walmart to get me an Italian sub, she was disgusted. When I opened it up, she was amazed, so she asked for some, then she asked for half of it. Good quality at a phenomenal price. I'd say it's my secret, but you have to get there early before they sell out. :frown: They make a limited amount each day.

She has locally-raised turkey. Their strong point is locally-raised grass-fed Angus beef. The meat there is incredible.

I have been trying to keep my cholesterol and my weight constant (very healthy for me at this point) but a weekly infusion of Tracy's cheese-steak sandwiches would sabotage that.

Dang. I could live with the snow for that.

That sounds like an awesome sandwich shop, do you do mail order requests?
