If you want your man to do something, be it overthrowing your brother or finally taking down those Christmas lights (plus light-up dreidel and menorah), be waiting in his bed with smoky eyes, a video of monkeys fighting, and a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich.\u00a0 It worked for Cleopatra and it will work for you.<\/p>\n<p>So needless to say, I was looking forward to Quiznos&#8217; Prime Rib on Garlic Bread sandwich. \u00a0I don&#8217;t frequent Quiznos often because there&#8217;s only one nearby and they&#8217;re a bit on the pricier side, but I&#8217;ve always enjoyed their food when I&#8217;ve eaten there, and how can you go wrong with prime rib and garlic bread? Admittedly I was expecting it to be made with actual garlic bread, which I still maintain would be awesome.\u00a0 Instead it&#8217;s regular bread with garlic aioli sauce liberally (depending on your server) spread across it.\u00a0 This has the effect of giving the sandwich a garlic smell, and the flavor of the sauce is definitely in the garlic family, but not as bold or in-your-face as pure garlic.\u00a0 More refined, if that makes any sense, a smoother garlic taste, like if you&#8217;re used to drinking IPAs and someone slides you a wheat beer.<\/p>\n<p>Apologies to any non-alcoholics who don&#8217;t get that reference.<\/p>\n<p>Note that it also comes with lettuce and tomato. They&#8217;re not pictured because Drew does not do healthy things.\u00a0 Hilariously, as soon as I pulled out my camera to take the photographs, the woman who prepared the sandwich came over like eight times to make sure it tasted good and wasn\u20ac\u2122t too burnt.\u00a0 My fault, I guess, for not wearing a sign saying &#8220;I AM NOT A QUIZNOS CORPORATE SPY SENT TO EVALUATE YOUR SANDWICH-MAKING SKILLS, I AM A LOWLY FOOD BLOGGER WHO WILL NOT BE DISCLOSING YOUR SPECIFIC LOCATION.&#8221;\u00a0 I still have a lot to learn, I\u20ac\u2122m afraid.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/5467178158\/\" title=\"Quiznos Prime Rib on Garlic Bread Innards by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5298\/5467178158_66ab5c1ab0.jpg?resize=500%2C361\" width=\"500\" height=\"361\" alt=\"Quiznos Prime Rib on Garlic Bread Innards\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The amount of prime rib in the sandwich is what I would describe as perfectly adequate.\u00a0 (Unlike the sodium, which is impressively obscene.) \u00a0At no point did I find myself biting down on nothing but<br \/>\nbread, like a teenager finding out his date&#8217;s bra is filled with Kleenex; but neither was I ever pleasantly surprised by the sheer quantity, like realizing she&#8217;s been wearing a sports bra all evening. You might be able to finagle a little extra meat if you&#8217;re more attractive than I am, or if you throw in a little hip shake or some free tickets to the gun show. \u00a0Still, what was there was flavorful, and they didn&#8217;t skimp on the cheese. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bread was, of course, toasted and made for a nice contrast with the creamy garlic sauce. \u00a0The edges got a little blackened, as you can see; I don&#8217;t mind a little char myself, but be on the lookout if you&#8217;re not okay with that. \u00a0I&#8217;ll offer that the sauce could maybe have been spread out a bit better &#8212; in some bites it overpowered the prime rib flavor, in others I could barely taste it &#8212; but again, that&#8217;s more attributable to your individual sandwich preparer. \u00a0(No, I will not call them &#8220;artists&#8221; until they use my tax dollars to create something that A) doesn&#8217;t look like anything, and B) is colossally ugly. \u00a0Veggie subs don&#8217;t count.)<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the garlic sauce manages to complement the meat and cheese nicely to create a good sandwich. I&#8217;d like to give it a higher score, but that price is just ludicrous for the size of what you&#8217;re getting. I know Quiznos brands itself as the &#8220;high end&#8221; fast food sub joint, but while the sandwich WAS tasty and I&#8217;m presuming the meat was taken from only the most pampered, humanely euthanized cows, there is absolutely no way you should be paying $5.49 plus tax for a 6-inch sandwich.\u00a0 (It&#8217;s also available in medium and large sizes, which undoubtedly come with paperwork for the mortgages necessary to buy them.) I reserve the right to change that score if I spontaneously start dropping gold nuggets in my boxers tomorrow, but until then, this is a yummy sandwich that I would suggest you let someone else buy for you.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8212; 1 small sandwich &#8212; 560 calories, 245 calories from fat, 27.5 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of artificial trans fat, 0.5 grams of natural trans fat, 85 milligrams of<br \/>\ncholesterol, 1820 milligrams of sodium, 43 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 32 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Quiznos Prime Rib on Garlic Bread Sandwich<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $5.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> Small sandwich<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Tasty garlic aioli sauce suitable replacement for garlic bread. \u00a0Made quickly. \u00a0Pleasant, non-overpowering smell. \u00a0Visually appealing when bread is closed. \u00a0Reasonable amount of meat. \u00a0Sports bras. \u00a0Attentive servers.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b> Given the price, apparently made with truffles and lobster.
