Ойын-сауық

Blimpie came before Subway - so why do many people think it's just a cheap imitation?

    I work at a blimpie, they do offer salads and wraps. They do make bread and cookies in house and some locations offer smoothies

    Jersey Mike's is what Blimpie should have been. I remember them from the 80s and when I first had a jersey mikes sandwich the memories started flooding back

    I always loved Blimpie when I lived in NYC, then they started spending more time weighing your 2 pieces of meat and one slice of cheese, that it became a total turn-off . I now go to Jersey Mike's and they are totally awesome and that's an understatement. I'm addicted to very fresh ingredients and outstanding sandwich combos. Yes, they're a bit pricey but worth every penny. It's a shame about Blimpie, but you can't expect a customer to stand around while you weigh every ingredient in their sandwich, it's ridiculous.

    I used to go to the one on Broadway just north of Houston Street in NYC. This was the late 80s.

    I remember Blimpie. Used to eat there a lot. Mostly in my high school days 2000-01.

    i friggin' loved Blimpe's back in the day. Found one locally a couple years ago and went there , finding them as good as I remembered. Sadly, right after that it closed! Clearly inferior to Jersey MIke's but I will always have a warm spot for Blimpie's. The Blimpie Best is a significant part of my past! I miss it.

    I grew up not to far from where they were founded and old school Blimpies was awesome! They could compete with any local mom & pop in flavor. Sadly, they went downhill once they went "corporate".

    Blimpie was always awesome - a million miles away from Subway. Subway is a poor excuse for a sandwich - Blimpie is fresh, awesome and flavorful.

    far better than Subway...but lags Jersey Mike's by a lot.

    Its funny how subway became the giant it is today with sad excuses of sandwich! Subway literally imitated jersey mike! Yet despite subway being of bad quality, people still buy from them! While chains that started before subway are looked down upon!

    My favorite sub shop was called "Sub Port". It was on Fletcher Avenue in North Tampa. The main reason I went there was to play "Defender", an arcade game. I was the best for years! Until my friend Dan came in and put up a score that I just couldn't top. He's been dead for years, now. I wonder who won?:)

    There was one in my college town. It had a fish tank that stretched over the entrance. I'm not sure when it closed.

    Blimpie's is right "They are the best dressed sandwich in America," cause all you get is dressed up lettuce tomatoes and very little meat.

    disagree. at least at one time, they offered a good mix of meat to condiments. it was my favorite chain back in college days --but that is a long time ago.

    Everyone has cut down on the meat because of inflation. One used to get a good portion and you walked out full.
