Hungry?

The franchise that owns the Subway where I'm currently working allows employees to eat free food during their shift (within certain limits).  So I have been eating a lot of Subway lately.  Since I've had the chance to do a bit of experimentation, I thought I'd list some of my current faves.  These are all on 6-inch, and I usually just pick a bread flavor that already has a 6-inch cut.  If there isn't one, then I go with my mood and the sandwich I'm selecting.  So the bread recommendation here is what I would pick if I weren't being lazy.  :-)  

Meatball Marinara - Italian (white) or Italian Herb and Cheese or Parmigiana Oregano.
Meatballs (duh), light sauce, usually Mozzarella or shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack. Toast it, then add spinach leaves, tomato, green pepper and depending on mood, jalapeno peppers.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and parmigiana.  (Depending on my mood, I may have this one with just the sauce and spices.)

BLT - Any bread is good with this.  If I'm feeling really reckless, I pay for double meat. Usually, I get either Pepper Jack cheese or Provolone. Toast it, then add spinach, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickle, banana pepper, sweet pepper and jalapeno pepper.  Add just one line each of light mayo and yellow mustard, then a fair amount of oil and vinegar.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and parmigiana.

Steak and Cheese (not the Philly - too much meat all at once). Italian or Italian Herb and Cheese bread and usually Provolone cheese. Toast it a few seconds extra, then add light mayo, oil and vinegar (on the meat side). Then sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and parmigiana.

Buffalo Chicken (I occasionally get this one as a salad instead.) I like this almost exclusively on Italian with Pepper Jack cheese.  Toast it a few seconds extra, then add a little ranch dressing, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers. If having it as a salad, use spinach, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers.
