Subway is one of those restaurants where I could eat every. Single. Day. I totally get you, Jared. And even though they always make fun of me for my weird sandwich (lettuce, cucumber, and cheese on wheat with some salt, pepper, oil and vinegar—yum!), I will keep coming back for my insanely awesome $5 foot long.
As you may have already been aware, Subway has been running a breakfast special for the past few months. According to the sub shop, the breakfast meal has been so successful with its egg and cheese muffin and flatbread sandwiches that plans for many more items—including select coffees!—will soon be available. Subway’s menu will soon be home to several yet to be disclosed breakfast choices that will offer early commuters something delicious and possibly more healthful to choose from.
According to Subway’s Research and Development project leader Larry Varvella, the plan is to run a bunch of new ideas for limited time offers and see what the people like. He also says that there are “lots of items in the pipeline,” which sounds exciting.
What is it about new! stuff that appeals to us, anyway? A lot of times when we select where we’ll be eating out during the week, I’ll ask, “Well, what do they have that’s new?” I’m sure I sound a lot like that snotty guy in Ratatouille.
Flavored coffees and espresso drinks may also be included in the new lineup, which will obviously be a part of a growing trend that many fast food joints are picking up on—the desire for dessert in the morning disguised as coffee. (Not that I’m complaining; iced coffee is one of my favorites, too—and the more whipped cream, the better!)
I really wish they’d have done this while I was in college! My junior year, I had an hour and a half commute from work to college, and would’ve loved this option after a long night shift. Instead, I was stuck with whatever I could remember to pack the night before or a convenience store cinnamon roll.
Today, when my family and I eat out, it’s usually for lunch; on the occasional trips we take early in the morning, however, we may just have to start stopping at subway if our daughter gets the munchies instead of picking up something mildly nutritious (a cereal bar, some peanuts) on the way.
