To fully understand Subway\u2019s plight, first, think of the worst thing that has been written about you in the press over the past few years. I\u2019ll give it a second\u2026 okay, good.<\/p>\n
Next, compare that to the sandwich maven. Earlier this month, the Irish Supreme Court ruled that Subway\u2019s bread has too much sugar to be considered bread. A 2017 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation investigation that found its chicken contains less than 50% actual chicken DNA. And then there was that uh, one guy. You know, the one who lost a bunch of weight and then his freedom.<\/p>\n
But there is a lot to be said for convenience (think of all the Subways squished into gas stations on desolate stretches of endless American interstates) and the general laziness of people too tired to make their own sandwiches.<\/p>\n
And speaking of laziness, allow me to introduce you to the sub-sandwich mega-chain\u2019s newest offering, Frank\u2019s Red Hot Buffalo Chicken sandwich. Subway says, \u201cthis sub includes our tender chicken strips and new Buffalo sauce, made exclusively with Frank\u2019s Red Hot sauce, toasted on your favorite bread and topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and ranch dressing.\u201d For the sake of standardization, I ordered mine exactly as they suggest. The bread on the app defaulted to \u201cItalian,\u201d but I ended up with whatever the plainest, whitest, most unimaginative bread offered is.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever had a Buffalo chicken sandwich from any other purveyor of food, you\u2019ve already had this thing, only better. That said, it wasn\u2019t 100% garbage. First, I\u2019ll tell you what I liked: the bread was big and soft and would have made a very cozy sweater. Again, it didn\u2019t taste<\/em> like much, but it was pleasant to touch. The veggies were very fresh, which, I\u2019ll admit, surprised me some. The lettuce was crisp and the cucumbers added a nice crunch. The tomatoes were small and inoffensive. If things would have stopped there, this sandwich would have been a 7. (And also, very unfulfilling.)<\/p>\n But they didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n Subway suggests that its \u201cnew buffalo sauce\u201d is made with Frank\u2019s Red Hot sauce, but to be honest, it just tasted like they mixed up some of Frank\u2019s Buffalo<\/em> Sauce with a dash of Frank\u2019s Hot<\/em> Sauce. Though the goopy result added a nice kick, there wasn\u2019t enough of it to give you a real \u201cbuffalo wing\u201d experience. Similarly, the ranch added very little. It was there, but quickly lost its footing\u00a0around the hot sauce, muting the heat and failing to provide any nuance.<\/p>\n And then, the chicken.<\/p>\n Subway\u2019s bird-meat is unnaturally soft, weirdly slippery, and tastes like what an extraterrestrial might guess chicken tastes like just from looking at a chicken alone. There is almost no flavor to it, and it is unsettling how it almost disintegrates<\/em> in your mouth. Were it not for the occasional bit of gristle, I might have wondered if I hadn\u2019t been tricked by tofu.<\/p>\n And really, tofu would have been much preferred. This sandwich made me uncomfortable, and that\u2019s generally the last quality I look for when grabbing lunch.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $8.49 To fully understand Subway\u2019s plight, first, think of the worst thing that has been written about you in the press over the past few years.
