Food Gems: Subway Chicken Crisp Sandwich

While being a Subway sandwich automatically disqualifies something from being a true hidden gem (neither hidden nor gem), I decided to do some quick reviews of these off-the-wall food items that many of us stare at the sign and wonder if it’s any good. Then we order the usual.

Not me. I never order the usual. I don’t care if a lunch sandwich place tried to somehow make an awkward breakfast menu I’d still eat it. Oh wait. Subway.

To get to the point, the Subway Chicken Crisp Sandwich fills two major needs that Subway normally doesn’t. Generally you can order only cold (or microwaved) processed meats, and if you get the six inch it’s just never filling. You sit there longing for a Chickfila. With the Chicken Crisp Sandwich you may can finally not look forward to a healthy lunch with immediate severe depression.

So while not great, it’s twice as filling as that horrendous veggie sub you ordered last week (where you promptly went home and ate two boxes of Mac and Cheese in ravenous hunger). As a bonus, frankly, it’s edible and reminiscent of a relative in the chicken family more than you’d think . Sure you’ll still get the trademark Subway service, the two napkins nazi treatment, and gourmet microwave heating, but you’ll drop the fat usually associated with a breaded chicken sandwich. Throw on a few veggies, and for the price, you could do worse. Like be fat.
