Goose, if CT is anything half as similar to North Jersey (thinking Bergen County where it's more affluent and nice), then you probably have at least 1 authentic Italian deli in town or a 10-15 minute drive away from home.
I never ate at Subway after trying it once. It's a disgrace to the sandwich, but I know a lot of people genuinely like this nasty sh!t. What the hell do they know? They're from FL so they don't know any better.
Blimpie Base is slightly better but I will only eat it if I'm out of the NY metro area.
Quiznos is @ss too.
Not only is a sandwich better at an Italian deli, but I also like to support small business; especially a fellow Guinea. You're paying double compared to Subway's $5 footlong, but you're getting more meat (better quality), fresh veggies and better/fresher bread.
Bread makes the sandwich! It can make or break it. Bah lee dat!

My biggest pet peeve with some delis is that they cut the sandwich half-way so if you don't cut the other half, you get a big mouthful of meat with one bite and a big mouthful of lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese with the next. It's not even distribution.
You can tell that these guys know what they're doing around 48 second mark b/c they make the full cut by place the top part of the bread on the sandwich. Even distribution!
Sucks that it's Ash Wednesday so I can't eat any meat today. It's salad and fish for me today and every Friday throughout Lent.
Damn, that looks really good Dutch.

Saw the thing about Subway too.......I wonder what other shiit they serve up? I wish there was a decent deli near me. Back in the 80's when Mike Tice was playing for the Seahawks, he opened a deli in Redmond that was a good, old-fashioned, Italian deli. We went in some nights when he was working & he built us some huge grinders. I hadn't seen anything like that since I was a kid living in NY.
Jimmy Johns blows too. I ate there once.......ONCE. I got a roll with one piece of meat on it for $9.

Can you explain the entire 'not eating meat' thing on Fridays?

It's fasting. In Roman Catholicism during Lent, you are supposed to either give something up (doesn't have to be no meat on Fridays or Ash Wednesday), or do something positive like volunteering or doing something that will benefit your community. Before I quit boozing entirely, I used to give up alcohol.
Hard-core Catholics give up meat for the entire 40 days of Lent.
I'm a selective Catholic. Outside of weddings and funerals, I haven't been to a mass since I was Confirmed.
Ironic isn't it? Hahahaha
I give up meat on Fridays because it's more of a self-discipline type of thing.

you can not eat meat on Ash Wednesday, which marks 40 days before Easter and the beginning of Lent. According to the Catholic law of abstinence, Catholics aged 14 and older must refrain from meat on Fridays altogether during this 40-day period, as well as Ash Wednesday.
. We don't avoid meat on days of abstinence, or restrict our intake of all food on days of fasting, because meat (or food in general) is bad. In fact, it's quite the opposite: We give up meat on those days precisely because it is good. Abstaining from meat (or fasting from food in general) is a form of sacrifice, which both reminds us of, and unites us to, the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross on good Friday.

Just picked up a few cannoli's at Ferrara Bakery in Little Italy last weekend. Don't get to new York often but always try to get to Ferrara's.
I live 10 miles away from Manhattan and I only go to that Sh!t show if I'm required to for work. I hate going to the City. Too many people and it's expensive.
People that are not from the metro area that call themselves New Yorkers (you know these people Googles- the people from the Midwest who moved there as adults and are renewing their lease for the 2nd straight year) love the City and they look down on us "Bridge and Tunnel" people. Ugh, such snobs. They scoff while saying, "They're from Jersey."
Yeah, well my condo is 3x bigger and my mortgage payment is half of what you're throwing away each month in that sh!t, cramped studio apartment. But hey, you live in the City!
Ok, my rant is over.
And sorry Goose, didn't mean to hijack the thread. We kind of got off point.

If you live in any kind of area with a large % Catholic pop. and a selection of ethnic Fish Markets the Fish you can buy on Fridays is no Hardship during Lent.

This is true. Most Italian delis around here have fish sandwich specials on Fridays.
Other than that, it's usually pizza or pasta Fridays. Linguine with white clam sauce sounds good this Friday! It's only a sin if you cheese the fish; that's how us real, true Guineas roll.

30 years ago Togo's made a great Pastrami sub. Heck 30 years ago Taco Bell was very good. Jimboys on Tuesdays had 20 cent Taco night. Oh man those were good.

https://youtu.be/A9kRCsnNDhE been going here since I'm a kid...this thread got me hungry ...going here for lunch today
Wow, that really DOES look great.
Gotta start controlling my food cravings. Took 2 of my buds down to Foxwoods last night for some great Shrimp, Filet Mignon and a couple bottles of Cabernet. This "little craving" cost me about $3K if you catch my drift.
Got destroyed in four straight sessions of Blackjack and Pai Gow Poker.
WTF??? $1K a Plate Dinner. DUH.
~~~~~ZOSO~~~~~

Like I said, I'm selective Catholic and it's more of a self discipline thing. I haven't gone to mass since my Confirmation. I don't believe everything that the Bible preaches, but I do believe it was good that I was raised with a religious background b/c it teaches respect, morals and values; charactersitics that any decent human should abide by.
From my experience, religious people that respect other people's religions/faith are some of the happiest people in the world whereas people that don't respect other religions or are atheist happen to be cynical and condescending @ssholes. True story.
I also play the market so I'd like to ask God what's the difference in placing a future wager. I only gamble NHL Futures, March Madness Brackets and NFL Suicides. No different than betting on a penny stock Mr. Christ.
