Like what?
And I'm not saying that as a wise-crack, I'm curious what sandwich joints you have available in your area. We had Blimpie and Quiznos for a few years but they were taken over by Subway. The only other options I really have in the surrounding towns/cities are a mom and pop general store with a deli, a supermarket with a deli, or restaurants that make sandwiches.
The only chains Ive liked sandwiches at in a pinch are jersey mikes (used to be local but now in va and elsewhere), and to a point, jimmy johns.
The reality is that the best sandwiches are made in small places, no franchise seems to have gotten the recipe right. Except primo hoagies, who has the right bread and everything, but I think they're only a philly thing.
The reality too is that the bread makes or breaks the sandwich. No crusty on the outside, soft on the inside long bread with sesame seeds on top... no chance of being a really good sandwich. Note that blimpies and jersey mikes use long submarine rolls... so that means they can't be truly great, but they still taste better than subway, imo.
