Day 39 - Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki

Yes yes I know, I did previously give Subway a slating, but I did have a sandwich I'd never had before. I thought I'd give it another chance with a tried and tested favourite (not of mine, but of Subway's clientèle in general): the chicken teriyaki. And it was a reasonable effort. The chicken was a little on the dry side, and it tasted nothing like chicken teriyaki, but it had a pleasant flavour nonetheless. The salad this time, with the sweet onion dressing, had more vibrancy and flavour. Unfortunately the bread was pretty dull. Overall, okay.

Day 18 - Al's Beef Legendary Italian Beef

Al's Beef is a place I saw on Man versus Food. It's famous for it's 6 inch subs which are made with slow roasted italian seasoned beef, which is then left to stew in a spicy gravy. The beef is then placed in italian bread, garnished with sweet peppers and giardiniera peppers and then dunked in spicy gravy. And that's exactly what I had. Truth be told this was actually the second time I've been to Al's Beef and it was as good this time as the first time. Spicy succulent beef oozing with gravy, sweet and spicy peppers, what's not to like?
