I went to Oswego State.  The cheeseburger sub from the Oswego Sub Shop might just be the perfect food.  I can't count how many we drunkenly ordered, usually around 3:00am.  Although I went back a couple years ago and the cheeseburger sub wasn't as good as in the 90s.

 

I went to Oswego for grad school l (04-07), and I hit up the sub shop just about every night after the bar.  The cheeseburger sub was very good, but I also used to get the mixed Italian a lot.  They had this homemade spicy pepper relish that was just unreal.  I miss that place.  

 

Rudy’s was another one of my go-to spots.  Best fried fish sandwich and ice cold beer.  So good.

perhaps 'twas you who wasn't as drunk as you were in the 90's that caused the lesser enjoyment

 

That is a solid possibility!

Rudy's was great.  I don't think I ever ate anything there that wasn't deep fried!  They had it down to a science.  Very fun atmosphere and right on the shore.    Oswego was a fun place, especially in the mid to late 90s.  I heard it got much more difficult to throw house parties and get into bars underage.

The best sub I ever had was in Honolulu, believed it or not, at a little joint near the airport called HI Subs. I travel there occasionally for work. And I always get a HI Sub at least once.

 

They are HUGE and very fresh. A full sub is 18 inches long and the diameter of a small folders can. I order a half sub and get two meals out of it. This special sauce is kind of a mild creamy Italian with a hint of mango - it is the bomb!

 

This place is probably the best price value on the island too. A full size sub (meal for 2-3) is around $10.00. 

 

If you are ever in Hono, check out HI Subs. You won't be dissapointed!

Had one in Hawaii.  Ham, bacon, Maui onions, pineapple, sweet peppers, avocado slices, taro leaf and a cheese with handmade bread toasted twice - once just the bread and the second time to melt the cheese and crisp the bacon/ham/pineapples/onions.

My son would order pizza with ham, pineapple, grilled chicken, BBQ sauce, jalapeños and everything else on the menu. At some point it ceased being “pizza”, but he liked it. Maybe because he enjoyed the ridicule I gave he. He had a great sensed of humor!

Arlington Texas really isn't known for good sub shops. However there was a good one near the house.  Dino's.  Should you come down for The Draft in April check it out. It's a short drive of 5 miles south of AT&T Stadium.

 

I've been fortunate to have a sub from Primant's on one of the trips to see the Bills play Miami.

 

Locally  here in Granbury, I have a Firehouse, Jimmy John's,Schlotzkys and the usual Subway.  I prefer The Bootlegger from Jimmy John's on their wheat with everything they have on it.

In Jamestown, there used to be a mom & pop grocery store - Rigoli's - who made the absolute best subs I've ever had. Delicious and filling, at a reasonable price. They were made to order, and a lot of people would call in an order in the morning for a lunchtime pickup.

There was and maybe still is one like that in the Green Acres area of Tonawanda on Niagara Falls Blvd near the freeway entrance called Mayback's. They had amazing huge subs back in the day.

We've got this place in town that's been around since the 70's...........Big John Subs.

Without a doubt, they are and have always been the best subs around. I'm talking that nothing even comes close.

 

Unfortunately, Big John's has sold to an Oriental guy.

Big John's is now called Big Wong's.......and the subs are subpar at best,

 

True story.

Betcha there are no pesky cats in the back alley anymore.  That's a good thing!

 

Substituting cream of sum-young guy for mayo, that's a bad thing! Unless, of course one is into that.  You never know nowadays...:ph34r:
