Blimpie is ruler of the chain sandwich world!
Haven't had Blimpie in a long time and discovered one when I was looking for a Subway. It's a gem of a find since there aren't that many of them anymore. But I was quickly reminded of why they are superior... First off, they slice the meat to order right in front of you. Then there's something about the way they shred their lettuce. Not a lot of fancy sauces, basically mayo or no mayo, and they cover the entire top slice of bread with a spatula! No squeeze bottles here. They generously pour on the oil and vinegar (my worst nightmare is a dry sandwich.)

Compared to Subway, where the meat is pre-sliced and vacuum packed at a distribution center somewhere, and the portions are cheap and carefully pre-measured (not so fresh) Blimpie is the obvious choice. Sure, if you want fancy bread and a complete salad on your sandwich, go ahead. To each his own.

The staff at this particular location are fast and friendly, real neighborhood folks. When you're hungry for a good old fashioned hearty hoagie, this is the place!
