Subway - Grilled Chicken Sandwich

I saw a Subway commercial the other day and it showed a very good-looking sandwich. It was called the Grilled Chicken foot long. It was only five dollars so I decided to have one for dinner.

The employee at the restaurant was pleasant and nice and began to make my sandwich. I asked for Italian bread and toasted please. I saw her cut the bread and proceed to place two thin white slabs of what I believed to be chicken on the bun. She then scooped out a ladle full of meatball sauce and spread it over the chicken. Into the microwave to toast it went.

* Cheese was $1 extra if wanted.
* Bacon was $1 extra if wanted.
* Any other meat add-on was $1 extra if wanted.

The sandwich was wrapped up and away I went. When I got it home, I unwrapped it, placed it on the counter and snapped this picture. It looked nothing like the television commercial sandwich. False advertising for sure.

But how did it taste?

Well, the Italian bread was OK. The meatball sauce was OK. The grilled chicken slabs were adequate. Of course the chicken was processed, not real chicken, but parts of the chicken. And that's it. Nothing else. Put it all together and you got a sandwich with no real taste, no real zing. However, the price of $5 dollars saved the sandwich from being a total loss.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 2 out of 5 shots and DOES NOT recommends Subway Grilled chicken sandwich for lunch or dinner. With so many other choices, this sandwich is a DOA.

  2. Ha! I had a grilled chicken sandwich from Subway just the other day and it looked totally different. Maybe they have different routines here in Scandinavia? Mine was actually pretty good. But then again it cost the equivalent of ten bucks so twice the price of yours.

  4. They must have different routines. When i bought this sub, it was during their promotional $5 dollar foot long subs. It usually costs $8 dollars. Perhaps they skimped on the sandwich to the cost down during the promotion.

  5. Wow, that looks horrible. The chicken is white, not even cooked.

  8. Yes I did eat that. Won't again. I did warm it up more in the micro before I ate it.

  9. Is five dollars cheap for that kind of sandwich? Because it doesn't look too good. What would be a regular price for a sub then?

  10. It is usually around $8 dollars. This was the monthly sandwich on sale. And no, it doesn't look to good.
