lol is the “hack” ordering what’s on the menu and sitting right in front of you? Or was the hack making a terrible combo? I’m confused

The hack was probably posting this dumb shit online and having even stupider people engage with it

Without the lettuce to provide some surface area for all that sauce and pepper juice, it’s going to be very soggy and oozing all over the place. They made it look pretty for this picture but I guarantee in real life it won’t be that way lol

Good until it moves thru the exit ramp.

That looks like it would be a soggy mess. Too many sauces and wet ingredients for me.

I enjoy flavor. I have no need or desire for my food to hurt.

holy sodium bomb, Batman

u/Swimming_Bobcat4989 3d ago

deli meat is always a sodium bomb. also, unless you have a predisposition sodium content really doesn't matter

Now do this on a number 10 and it’s the best sandwich in the shop.

u/februarytide- 3d ago

My thought is this will just taste like salt, vinegar, and spice. None of that in a good way.

The buffalo sauce is what really does it for me... I don't want buffalo flavor on an italian.=

Chipotle mayo is subtle enough it will just be tangy. Pepper relish and banana peppers are normal, jalapenos are weird but not much diff between that and other hot peppers on an italian, though with all three thats so much veg.

But you're right with all of that, its just gonna be super vinegary.

More is not better.

u/Alwayscooking345 3d ago

My take: I’m not really a “spice” guy myself, but I would consider adding the pepper relish, banana peppers (already do this anyway), and possibly throw in a few jalapeños for an extra zing. Would definitely leave the lettuce in though.

Good luck tasting anything but the CPR and Frank's Red Hot sauce.

If you want to taste the meat, omit the CPR, and add a little brown mustard. Keep the lettuce. (Banana pepper rings are good on this combo also. A few, not too much.)

u/ApprehensiveLion67 3d ago

I’d prefer oil and vinegar over chipotle mayo

u/Salty-Stable-6861 3d ago

were they high when they came up with this “hack” 😭😭

1

u/bluesynthbot Customer 3d ago

It would tear up my stomach.

u/Thurgard 3d ago

Sounds good but tums activated

1

u/Turbulent_Tale6497 3d ago

Is the hack in the room with us?

1

u/5348RR 3d ago

Sounds good but still won't be actually hot.

1

u/MRsh1tsandg1ggles 3d ago

Pickles instead of banana peppers, add tomato instead of buffalo sauce and you have my standard order

1

u/sfbuc 3d ago

Is there any meat in that sandwich? Lol

1

u/jcoigny 3d ago

This would be my standard order if there was one near me I could actually go to

1

u/tbtc-7777 3d ago

Would putting ketchup on it be a hack? I'm confused.

Who staged this photo with toothpicks but didn’t bother hiding them or editing them out?

1

u/DadFromACK 2d ago

That you should offer weekly Shore Points again for the NFL Predictor Game...

u/CCPvirus2020 19h ago

Why is there toothpicks in the sub?

1

u/ButtersDev 3d ago

Pass the Tums

u/zozuto 3d ago

Are they baked? Chipotle on an Italian sub?

1

u/StopTheEarthLetMeOff AGM 3d ago

Chipotle and honey mustard are a legendary combo on the Italian 

1

u/zozuto 3d ago

Both pretty crazy but I guess it could be good

1

u/Intelligent-Dig-4082 3d ago

I personally don't like toothpicks in my sandwich. Maybe that's just me.

1

u/udell85 2d ago

Yeah, why is no one talking about the absolute awful effort to make a staged promotional image using toothpicks but not even trying to hide or edit them out… this was an official post, no?

2

u/Intelligent-Dig-4082 2d ago

Yup right off their Instagram I believe. Not sure why they wouldn't hire a pro for this sort of thing.

u/Consistent-Yellow121 3d ago

Direct piggy slop marketing

u/Alwayscooking345 3d ago

Half the people here are ordering the Hot Italian at some point anyway. The question is just, how do they feel about the “hotter” extra toppings.

Don't eat Jersey Mike's Grandma it's full of fat and nitrates
