Jersey Mike's

I had never heard of Jersey Mike's before I moved to California.  The logical conclusion was that it originated in New Jersey, but I made a point of avoiding the garden state during my time on the east coast. 

According to their website, they have locations peppered throughout the nation, with 118 locations in the State of California alone.

In terms of sub shop chains, I rank Jersey Mike's above Subway, Quizno's, Togo's, you name it.

My wife and I used them to cater my son's birthday party and everyone ate their asses off.  $50 for a box of subs that fed 10-12 people.  We got four boxes.

You truly get to "eat fresh" at Jersey Mike's, as they have a deli slicer and they actually slice the meat and cheese right before your eyes, rather than let your meat sit pre-sliced on a counter all day long.  They make a mean fucking cheesesteak too.

 

Give it a try and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. 

How much do I dig Jersey Mike's?  The location down the street from our apartment was the deciding factor when my wife and I were apartment hunting.
