Pros: Higher quality ingredients, fresh sliced meat and cheeses
Cons: Slightly higher cost than Subway, Quality standards depend on location/area.

Pros: Taste, cost, convenience, service
Cons: Ambience, health/nutrition, freshness
Summary: Subs may well be the "compromise" in fast food. They aren't exactly your green, leafy salad, but they aren't a dripping Big Mac either. It's a little something healthy and a little something unhealthy, mixed together and doing alright.

Pros: Great place to go for a Sub - if you don't have a Subway
Cons: Not as good as Subway
Summary: Seems to me that Aristotle said, all substitutes are inferior to the thing they are replacing - but some substitutes are better than others. This observation seems to fit in nicely here. Blimpie is inferior to Subway in most ways, but, as a substitute, ... read more
