*** Cyclone Fanatic Fast Food Tournament Elite 8 ***

[enisthemenace]

My pea brain doesn’t associate cold sammiches with fast food. YMMV

I get it. To me, hot or cold doesn’t matter. Now, perfect mayonnaise distribution?

Ok, I just remember being in Baltimore at a hotel near the airport and there was one of those (I thought it was Jimmy Johns) and when I asked them to toast my sandwich they said they only do cold subs.

The toasted subs are relatively new for them (last year or two?). It used to be only cold subs.

I got food poisoning from the Indianola JJ's last year and haven't been able to bring myself to eat at one since.

Depends on what type of sub. I'm a big fan of meatball subs, which are better toasted. At Jimmy John's I get salami, which is better cold.

I used to eat Subway a lot because the kids love it, but it messed up my stomach the last few times. If you do go to Subway and get a toasted sub, I recommend toasting it for only 10 seconds. That will melt the cheese and your bread will not be crunchy.

Arby’s in the last 8?

...they have the meats.

For sandwiches.

I've continued to vote for Arby's, partly based on its bracket matchup path.

I don't eat there frequently, but through the years, at various locations, I've found it reliable and consistent, if nothing else. It also specializes in a sandwich type that isn't "burger," so when I'm in that mood/mode, it fits the bill.

Also, I'm not a big fry/curly fry fanatic anymore, sometimes I don't even bother, but Arby's curly fries I find worth indulging.

It's Wendy's vs Jimmy John's for me. Not a fan of either.

that's me with Chick Fil A and In and Out. Just not gonna vote on that one

 

[dahliaclone]

Went with Wendy's. The spicy chicken sandwich is still the best of any fast food joint.

Isn't Jimmy Johns the one that only has cold sandwiches (doesn't toast?) or am I confused (again)?

And Wendy's new/updated spicy chicken is ******* amazing. If you ask Wendy's to make everything 'out of the fryer/fresh' they do it and it rivals any other place on this contest.

 

[dahliaclone]

Wendy’s has some decent salads as well

tossed?

That makes sense. It was probably at least 3 years ago in Baltimore.

I'm polar opposite. I like them to put the bacon in by itself first. Then do the whole sandwich with the bacon.

This gets the bacon crisp-ish and you get that nice crunchy edge on the bread.

My older son gets a turkey sub with bacon and gets just the bacon toasted. What's weird is that if you don't ask them to toast the bacon they will just put it on the sandwich cold.

Tough choice for me. But I like burgers more than sandwiches, so Wendy’s got my vote.

I think in the past couple years they started toasting their subs. But for a long time, it was just cold subs.

I don’t understand that either.
