Had to look up the Jimmy John's # 9....the "Italian Night Club". Drew...you live at least part time in New Orleans...home of the Poboy...why crave a sandwich from a slightly upgraded Subway?

"Slightly upgraded Subway"
I….but…fine, it’s accurate, but dammit I like Jimmy Johns. Also, the #9 is the way to go. Have to add peppers, though.
We have one here oddly enough.
A friend I work with loves them….not because they’re good…but because they deliver in less than 15-20 minutes.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
I also don't understand why Jimmy Johns claims to use only the finest meats and cheese he can find....yet only offers sandwiches with provolone and provolone only.
I mean come on…never heard of a nice piece of baby swiss?…Some cheddar…gouda….pepper jack…colby…monterey jack…mozzarella…munster. Variety is supposed to be the spice of life.

had to look up the # 9 too
but Zip Bread is/was the best. Read Brees was chowing down on them in college, it’s a Mid-West thing. He kinda of an unofficial spokesperson, and I’m sure he owns one or two whole or partially.
