Subway Is Even Worse Than You Remember

Subway's reputation has been circling the drain for years—but is it really as bad as people say? We tried a bunch of footlongs and we've got thoughts.

This week, Terral Wells joins me to put the country's most common fast-food chain to the test. From a pretzel drier than the Mojave Desert to an interior design aesthetic that actively made Terral upset, we break down every moment of our subpar experience.

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

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

🥖 Is there anything redeemable about Subway?
🫠 The footlong pretzel was a mistake.
🚨 "Is that smell coming from Subway? Damn, that's crazy." – A real quote from a real woman outside Subway.
🖼️ Bizarre wall art that we still don't understand.
🥪 The assembly line: efficient or soul-crushing?
💀 Subway's decor is so lifeless it might be worse than the food.
🍪 The cookie: the best thing we ate but still just fine.
📉 Where does Subway rank in our search for the most mediocre restaurant in America?

💬 LET ME KNOW: What's the worst thing you've ever eaten at a Subway?
