Wanting in on that long-running fandom and fanfare that comes maybe once a year, the sandwich artists at Subway are horning in the fake-rib business with the introduction of its BBQ Rib Sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>Using a similar rib-shaped patty to the McRib, Subway\u2019s variation seems more significant, nearly filling the entire six-inch sub I ordered. And while the artisan behind the glass recommended white bread, I instead went with whole wheat. This is where the Subway sandwich begins to differ from McD\u2019s greatly.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Subway-BBQ-Rib-Sandwich-Patty.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Subway BBQ Rib Sandwich Patty\" title=\"Subway BBQ Rib Sandwich Patty.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pale patty with fraudulent grill-lines is placed on bread and absolutely slathered with Subway\u2019s somewhat passable barbeque sauce. It is then put into the proprietary space-age super-oven and toasted nicely within a minute. After it&#8217;s pulled out, another heavy squeeze of sauce is added. And then comes the cheese and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Subway-BBQ-Rib-Sandwich.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Subway BBQ Rib Sandwich\" title=\"Subway BBQ Rib Sandwich.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the McRib, you get it the way the clown wants to give it to you: rib, bun, pickles, slivered onions, and sauce. But with Subway, its method of making the sandwich right in front of you brings this rib patty concoction into a whole new realm of possibilities. In addition to the bread, I also got a few slices of provolone cheese, some fresh tomatoes, red onions, green peppers, and jalapenos.<\/p>\n<p>While it will never be a true BBQ feast, for a fast food sandwich, it is one of the better BBQ sandwich offerings out there. While the patty is less fatty than McDonald\u2019s, there is an easy smoky flavor that is enhanced by Subway\u2019s tomato-rich barbecue sauce. Combined with the melty provolone cheese and various vegetables, it\u2019s like a BBQ dinner in a bun.<\/p>\n<p>With Subway\u2019s BBQ Rib Sandwich, I got better than expected results. It\u2019s available for a limited time, but if it comes back somewhat regularly, like the McRib, I can see myself lining up for a taste year after year after year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.29<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 6-inch sub<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 430 calories, 18 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 590 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 19 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people usually think of pre-formed rib portions, they often think of McDonald\u2019s famed McRib, and rightfully so.
