Dear Jimmy John's


I am sorry that I turned my nose up at you all those years. I should've taken the advice passed down the ages by wise men and women who stated, "do not knock it, until you try it." For years I viewed you a less than equal sandwich shop when compared to the likes of Subway, Quizno's, Pen Station, and others. Only recently while in a carefree mood did I allow your goodness to pass into my bowels. And happy I have been since that glorious day! I shutter to think of all the times that I passed you up in pursuit another sandwich that would not fully satisfy. I have squandered my earnings on food not equal to the quality that is inherent in your flavorful #2 (with cheese), and for this I apologize. Let us unite together from hence forth into a new world where good sandwiches may be the cornerstone upon which all other cold lunches may be built upon.

Here's what I've missed:

1. The most consistent sandwich from any sandwich shop. Subway is the worst at this...you never know what you're getting with them.

2. A sub that doesn't need to be toasted to be good. Seriously, go out and try a #2 today.

3. Best bread. This falls into the 'most consistent' part.

4. Good size sandwich. A perfect proportion.

5. Good chips - plain chips are the best.

6. Coke products. Suck it, Pepsi.

7. They deliver - literally, they will drive a sandwich to your house. That's brill.
