Economics Meet Great Taste

In these economic times sometimes we need to think about the different levels of what I consider "Quality Food". For instance, I'm not obsessed with fast food but when certain chains come out with a limited time burger, if the moods strikes I'll take advantage. Lately my goal has been to search for the most affordable food to acquire under the shortest time. Without admitting I want great tasting fast food, I found Subway to be an extremely pleasant surprise. Having been a fan of family owned sandwich shops as well as Submarina and Togo's, only until the recent advertisements have I actually opted to go to Subway.

Being spectacle about the whole "Five Dollar" marketing I anticipated speding seven or eight dollars after taxes and finding out that one of the toppings is under economic demand and will cost extra, like the guacamole from Chipotle. So, I'm in Subway and I have no clue what I want but I know what I'm used to ordering and don't know whether I should do that or order something random. Because of my indecision I decided to go with the most basic yet so congenial sandwich: The BLT.

First I had to order the bread, I immediately chose the Italian Herbs and Spices bread. Second I said I'll like that as a BLT, which then led to what kind of cheese would I desire on it. At first I said I wanted swiss but it was too late to say pepper-jack but I said it anyway so they put that on extra. The next step I was asked if I wanted it toasted, which normally I'm apathetic towards but I wanted the cheese be melted so I said yes. After the toasting they applied the bacon, lettuce, and tomato, of course, then asked if I wanted any other toppings or sauces. Topping I didn't want but I thought it would be perfect for a unique sauce. I asked for a drizzle of southwestern chipotle sauce and a drizzle of southwestern ranch. Once the sub was closed the mixture of the heat from the cheese and the sauce combination created a zesty taste that kept the bites coming.

Originally I wanted to eat half the sub then head back to the campus and workout, saving the second half for dinner time but because the sub was so good, I couldn't resist. So, if you enjoy the baconey, lettucey, and tomatoey of a BLT, next time you want an economically sound meal and overall great taste, go to Subway and do what I did. If you don't enjoy it, it's five dollars lost, but if you do, enjoy your meal.
