Subway's Disturbing History: Jared, The Infinite Destroyer, & Azodicarbonamide

Subway's history is WAY messier than you think. Sure, it's the biggest fast-food chain in America, but behind the Eat Fresh™ branding lies a disastrous past filled with lawsuits, bizarre marketing stunts, and yes… Jared Fogle.

In this episode, Terral Wells joins me to uncover Subway's wildest moments, from its humble beginnings as a way to fund med school to the time they got sued because their footlongs weren't actually a foot long. Oh, and did you know there's a Subway fashion show? Or that you can order something called the Infinite Destroyer sandwich in Tokyo? We're going deep.

"Fine" Dining is now on video! Head on over to my YouTube to WATCH this episode!
