Hmmmmm.
I may be losing it in my old age, but I haven't seen anything here about it.

I've been repulsed by Quiznos since I first saw their early ads. The mix of
flavors and textures that they described in the ads were off-putting, not to
mention good old overkill.
Nope, I've never purchased from Quiznos. And their ads of late serve to
drive me even further away.

They opened one a couple blocks from me. I went in once to check it out. It
actually stank, as in smelled bad. I left. It went out of business within
6 weeks of opening.

I, for one, have bought from Quizno's and will gladly do so again. I have
bought the Black Angus Steak sandwich on numerous occasions. I think it's
great stuff.

With uphill so damned hard nowadays, downhill must be better.

I'll throw in a contrary opinion about Quiznos. I think they make an
excellent sandwich. I've been eating there for years and will continue
to. Much better than Subway, for the most part. Certainly not as good
as a real deli sandwich, which is hard to find in Denver.
As for "Bob", that asinine ad is not worth the time and trouble to say
it's asinine! I much prefer to ignore the negatives than to give up
time out of my life to excoriate them! Having said that, I agree that
this one deserves the criticism richly. If I were not already a
customer, I'd probably avoid the place based on those ads alone...

And they don't skimp on the meat, which is nice. I find them very
tasty and certainly prefer them over Subway.

I like some of their sandwiches but not others. It's
mainly the quality of the meat. The chicken chunks are
okay but the sliced turkey tastes like bad deli turkey loaf.
Blecch!. I like the fact that they're toasted as here in
Pittsburgh baked hoagies are the thing and I freak out
if I go to a hoagie place and they don't bake them. Sheesh!
What are they thinking? The other thing about Quizno's is
the bread. It tastes fine but it doesn't have much body
to it. I like nice dense bread, not the airy-fairy kind.

Well, what isn't? Subway is horrid!

i thought it odd they didn't have crushed red cherry peppers for the
steak sub. but sliced jalapenos are o.k., i guess.
