There is something a little questionable about eating in a place called Subways. Call me crazy, but when I picture a subway, clean, delicious food is not the first thing to come to mind. Of course, in all fairness, when I picture a Subways, the first thing I think of is a filthy, disgusting rat.

In any event, Subways-both the fast food joint and the mode of transportation-are no places to eat. I have little faith in the origins of their cold cuts, even less in their produce; the lettuce looks like someone peeled it off of a discarded Big Mac. When your food doesn’t compare favorably to McDonalds, you are doing something wrong.

If you are looking for a good sub, there is only one fast food place to trust. I speak of Quiznos, the cutesy, perhaps more upscale version of Subways. Their subs are all toasted to perfection, their ingredients all look edible, and their portions are more than reasonable. Sure you may shell over a few more coins in your pocket, but it is totally worth it. The aesthetics are pleasing, the people are friendly, and their food is delicious. Might I recommend their tuna sandwiches?

Alas, subways do have their uses for all you city dwellers?take one to the nearest Quiznos.
