Same here. I can get Subway local here so I would rather nut eat it on tour. But they do offer an excellent selection at a very affordable price. Across all of the big fast food restaurants, they probably offer the best value for your money.
And as the OP mentioned, you can find them almost anywhere and you are going to get consistent quality.
One thing that bother me about Subway is the fact they place huge stacks of food out, very early in the morning. I realize they are probably in cooling
trays but it is hard to believe that the food at the top of the stack gets adequate cooling. In addition, the food is often left uncovered leading to possible contamination.
