This sub cost me $11.24.
The look:Not to be all superficial, but this was the ugliest sandwich of the bunch.
Unfortunately, the meat looks slimy.

The taste:On the one hand, the taste very much lives up to its look.
On the other hand, considering how disappointing it looked, that’s not a good thing.
When the shredded lettuce is the best part of a sandwich, you know things are awry.

The look:No offense to roast beef, but it does not photograph well.
Especially in this case, the ribbons of cold meat looked grayish, more like overcooked burger meat.
But the calamity of ingredients doesn’t really work as well as it should.

Do people eat roast beef with mayo?
The bread, again, was unruly.
But at least it was fluffier and easier to sink into than the Turkey and Provolone.

It’s honestly my least favorite way to consume beef.
This sub set me back $11.60.
The look:First of all, the look of this sandwich does not do itself any favors.

Onions and peppers were nowhere to be seen.
The taste:One bite, though, and I completely changed my tune.
Even though it looks kinda meh, the flavors are big and bold.
By the time I unwrapped this thing, it was barely lukewarm.
The Club Sub cost me $12.09.
The look:Where the Club Sub falls short is in its looks.
Altogether, it works really well and totally defied my expectations.
Somehow, though, it all works.
Why TrustEat This, Not That!
