Sweet, now Jews can get ripped off by Subway's all bread and lettuce subs like we gentiles have been for years.   Where's the beef was a big add campaign in the 80s, Subway's should be WHERE'S THE MEAT!

I like Subway but I definitely agree that they skimp on the meat.  All of their meat toppings are skimpy and then they rip you off by making you pay 2.50 per 6 inches to make it "double meat" which just makes it have as much meat as a normal sandwich should have.

They have a pretty good menu.  Peppersteak with sauteed onions and peppers, "chicken mediterranean, corned beef and pastrami, and schwarma!  We don't have any of those things at Subway in either California or Indiana.  I doubt that the schwarma is even half-way legitimate though.  THere are probably lots of better places to get real schwarma in New York anyway.

Originally, the only one in North America was in Cleveland.  This past summer, I believe, they built one in either the Five Towns or Far Rockaway, and I'd never heard of the one in California.

I heard they are also opening one in Baltimore.

I prefer a good deli sandwich where they really know how to pile it on.

   Subway is not supposed to serve schwarma. I would like to see a store that imitates a real subway and markets to all customers as opposed to just religious Jews. When I was in Israel I kept kosher. I'm not against paying a little more for the extra work that is required to keep kosher, but I sure don't want to get ripped off because the places have monopolies. If I had enough options and could reasonably do so, I would keep kosher. Laissez faire and a free market are things we need to fight for.

   Any place I need to go to needs to:
   1. Provide clean filtered drinking water. I'm not against them charging something reasonable like a nickel or quarter for the cup, but I want something healthy and don't want to pay $2 for a soda or bottled water. Especially when other places charge around a dollar. It's understandable that meat has to go through extra processes, but the fact that they can mark up drinks and not even provide clean water shows that they are just ripping customers off.
   2. They need to follow credit card laws. It is illegal for a merchant to deny a credit card sale or charge a terminal fee for the transaction just because it is below a limit. I understand that this transaction costs the merchant to make, but that is the cost the merchant agreed to when signing their agreement with the credit card company. If they don't like it, they don't have to accept credit cards at all, but it will discourage customers like me from purchasing there. Why the kosher places I've gone to chose to break these laws while just about every other merchant follows them gets me, but there have been many occasions that I have not gone to Kosher Bite, Tov's Pizza, and Carmels in Baltimore because of this issue.

Here in Europe, our cities are being swamped by turkkkish pitta-shoarma snack-bars.
Have any of you any idea what meat they use?
I get sick of it.

I heard about this.  Now Jared can go there.  That guy's Jewish by the way.  Have you ever seen a luckier son a of gun find a way to make a good living though?  All the putz did was eat sandwiches.

I think they use lamb.
Shawarma in Israel is either made from lamb or turkey but usually turkey. In Israel Jews sell it too, not just Arabs. The Jewish one is kosher and the Arab one is not. I like it in a laffa, which is Iraqi bread. It's made as a wrap when it laffa.

I don't mind eatin gthe food itself if Jews would open a pittabar.
Frankly, I do not believe the "meat" turks serve in their pitta-kabab is real meat.
I think it is some non-hallal/non-kosher/non-eatable to my standards meat.
There was one turk in my city, that did sell real lambsmeat pitta.
That shop is closed now
