Then I watch as my family consumes subs heaping with cheese and deli meat that probably have more saturated fat than the entire Cheesecake Factory menu put together.

It&#8217;s got some new offerings this summer, including the Spicy Nacho Chicken Sub. This fairly ambitious sandwich is made with rotisserie-style chicken, green peppers, red onions, jalapenos, cheddar cheese sauce, creamy sriracha, and &#8220;SubKrunch.&#8221; SubKrunch is a new option at Subway, little fried crunchy bits that add a nice bit of texture.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised by how much the SubKrunch added to the experience. They were generous with these little things, kind of like French fried onions, and the constant-yet-not-annoying crunch level was fun. You can supposedly add SubKrunch to any existing sub, and I&#8217;m curious to see what my favorite tuna sub tastes like with a bunch of crunch added.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/subwayspiochi3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-63963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/subwayspiochi3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/subwayspiochi3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/subwayspiochi3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/subwayspiochi3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even though there are jalapenos and sriracha, the heat level never gets that high. I felt the heat from the jalapenos on the tip of my tongue as I ate them, but the spiciness didn&#8217;t seem to spread through my mouth that much. The cheddar cheese provides a nice contrast, but you don&#8217;t get it with every bite; it&#8217;s nice when it shows up. I found the chicken really savory and juicy, which was surprising because I haven&#8217;t been enamored of Subway&#8217;s chicken products in the past. The bread was, well, bread\u2026it didn&#8217;t add much flavor, but the sandwich is so packed full of flavor it doesn&#8217;t matter. I&#8217;m curious if trying it with one of Subway&#8217;s other breads would make much of a difference. The veggies just add a bit of texture, I didn&#8217;t really taste them, but they added some vitamins, so yaaay?<\/p>\n<p>On the whole, this is a really tasty sandwich. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d switch out my classic Tuna Sub with veggies for this new guy, but I&#8217;d definitely at least consider it\u2014which is saying something if you know just how many Subway Tuna Subs I&#8217;ve eaten in my life. But this is all irrelevant because I&#8217;m clearly going to start making vegan, home-cooked meals for my family all the time and not give in to the siren song of Subway take-out anymore\u2026except for possibly Thursdays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $11.79<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Footlong<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 890 calories.
