Subshack

Classic Assorted Sub Could Have Been Better

I grew up in Ontario during the era when the submarine sandwich became popular in the 1970s. During that time, dozens of independent stores opened all offering variations on the same thing, with the "assorted sub" being the common denominator among all those stores. Most of the independents have long gone, being replaced by the large chains. However, when judging a sub shop, I always use the assorted as the gold standard by which to judge the place. Subshack's assorted was made with very fresh bread (choice of 4 bread styles - I chose jalapeno and cheese). Came with the usual lettuce and tomatoes, other toppings were free. The meats were sliced very thin and rather bland. OK overall, but would have been better if the cold cuts were a bit more generous.
