I'm curious what's wrong with a Jersey Mikes italian. Just because it's a chain doesn't make it bad - all chains start somewhere.

It's kind of like people who like a musician until they become "mainsteam". Same music, but it's just not cool to like things that other people like.

Ugh, I don't care to explain honestly. I gave examples. If you need recipes....ugh, fine you're right. Jersey mikes is great and ny bagels makes a terrific cheesesteak. It's just cheese steak and bread duh how hard can it be. carry on.

The best explanation that I can give, is that some years ago a native took me to a medical appointment after major surgery. I had him stop at a Steak & Hoagie on the way home. I split the hoagie with him when we got back to my house, where I had a jar of chopped cherry peppers. He took one bite & said, "Now I understand why the Philadelphia mill workers used to complain about the bread & sandwiches when I was young." This was a man who had eaten many subs during his life. He knew the difference with one bite. I brought him a meatball sandwich from the Petersburg WaWa for watching my mail when my father died & I had to go to South Jersey. He said "Now I can die happy."

Back to the cheese steaks, since this, obviously, didn't work.

Hey Rory. Hate to be the one to tell you, but I see a lot of people scarfing down those cheesesteak subs at Jersey Mike's. They look pretty good to me

What's your Point? Oh gee, "tons of people eat mcdonalds cheeseburgers, I must be dead wrong then, and it IS in fact a high quality, top notch cheeseburger!" Sorry undercover sgt snark, try again. Nothing wrong with people liking what they like, but lets be real what what is quality and what isn't, how many people eat them is probably the worst barometer. How does that change anything? It doesn't. JM's can cater to the "just meat/Chs/bread" ppl all day long, good for them. I prefer much a higher quality sandwich, that's all.

First no you didn't give any specific examples. When I asked you to tell me how to make an Italian Sub vs an Italian Hoagie vs an Italian Hero you couldn't even do that. By the way you've been carrying on about this that should have been easy. Secondly, read the thread I never said NYBD makes a good cheesesteak, I said they make a good Italian Hoagie/Sub/hero. Nor did I say I like the cheesesteaks from Jersey Mikes. Nice back peddling dude.

Also had to lol again at you thinking Pats or Genos makes a good cheesesteak.

Why is your favorite sandwich higher in quality than Jersey Mike's?

Aaaaannnnddd, this prognostication has been borne out by the proceedings since!

Good call!

Jersey Mike's, for fresh, if that matters.
Are cheesesteaks better from grubby grilles?

Maybe it's the water in Philly that makes cheesesteaks there better?

Rory- although I don't really 'get it', I admire how passionate you are about your cheesesteaks!

Kinda like I feel about missing WaWa, I don't want to hear that Sheetz is the same! :-)
