They just opened one of my beloved Quizno's RIGHT NEXT TO MY GYM. Seriously, the buildings are attached even.

Wobegon had a Quizno's. And I kid you not, it lasted for three months.
I think that ad campaign backfired. People thought their sammiches were made out of those critters.

Quizno's rocks. We have one opening up downtown.
Our other one closed down to change ownership.

we have a struggling Quiznos here. they burn everything that comes thru that tunnel and it's way overpriced.
i'm thinking the quiznos won't last here either. the owner/manager is CLUELESS.
putting one next to a gym is good planning though. ours is next to an Oreck sweeper store.

Me no likey the Quizno's  overrated, over-priced, over-oregano-ed.
I think that is similar to 'msg-ed'

you'd think he'd learn after one blackened bun came thru, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, he burns the living crap out of everything, consistently. at least for the three times i've gone there -- hoping they'd get the hang of it. no more money for burnt buns. bleh.

There are now 3 of my beloved Quizno's within 15 minutes of my house. None of them burn the tasty treats that come through the oven. They know from not burning them!
I forgot to mention the huge stack of coupons left on the gym's sign-in table.
I. Love. Quizno's.

I love Quizno's but rarely eat there because I think they are overpriced. And Quizno's coupons around here are non-existant.

There's one on the way to Ranger & Alia's house from where I live but I haven't been there yet. Perhaps a detour taste test is in order when I come back from picking up my bike at the bike shop.
Elkid, what's your best recommendation for a Quizno's newbie?

Thank you, Kid, for getting these guys back in the Riff Raff. [scroll:bcacd0bb0a] [/scroll:bcacd0bb0a]
There's a Quizno's near us - only had 'em a couple times, but really did like them.

- mesquite chicken with bacon
- spicy monterey club sans mayo
- turkey lite
The Paramedic favors the black angus steak. Do not leave without gettting a few white chocolate chip cookies, either.
I'm such a junkie I have a call ahead menu in my glovebox.
