Review: I can visualize it in my head. Hundreds of busy, over-wroked people without the free-time to attend a gym breaking for lunch and thinking to themselves, I need to get something healthy for lunch today. Ooh! I know! A salad! Then they rush off in that speedwalking gait they have perfected while being some CEO's lapdog and duck into their local Quiznos for one of these tasty salads.
Something healthy, they are not.
Tasty isn't how I would describe them to a friend either.
Lucky for me, I wasn't trying to be especially healthy today. I happen to like salads. Not to mention, I get sick of the pre-packaged sandwich fare at 7-Eleven quite fast.
Most of the time, when I eat a salad, I am looking for a healthy, refreshing and stark tasting experience. Light dressings such as vinegrettes suit me. The addition of nuts and fruits are always nice. Finally, a few shavings of strong cheese such as gouda or bleu help to add the finishing touch.
The finish with this salad is when the ingredients touch your stomach and all of the synapses fire in your brain, making you realize the colorific meat-bomb you have just eaten.
It starts out honerably enough. A triangular Quiznos tray with some mixed greens and cherry tomatoes. The veil of lean-looking chicken and cheese slowly warms inside of the conveyor-belt oven. Then, after your consumer relationship has been consummated with a receipt, your future meal reveals the hideousness of its contents.
First, the cheese, which looks so tasty in the ad, is a sweaty half-melted slice of cheddar that looks and feels like wax. The waxy orange layer is pocked with bacon bits that could double as chew toys for a Lilliputian puppy. The chicken tastes as if it is made from bologna scraps and has the consistency of soggy paper mache. Finally, the honey mustard dressing has the look and feel of bottled acrylic paint. All of this should be enough to make you lose your appetite and actually have a healthier lunch by not eating this abomination.
I don't have the exact nutritional stats in front of me, but I am willing to bet that some of Quiznos' sandwiches are less prone to clogging an artery than this undercover fat-sundae.
