The quality of the meat in free range is significantly better, on almost every level (in addition to what the free range doesn’t have!).

If nothing else, the texture difference is startling. Free range has a firmness, a density (probably from actually using those muscles) while conventional chicken often has a texture not particularly distinguishable from Oscar Mayer bologna.

LOL! Definitely possible.

The texture, and also free range seems much moister, without being slimy. With beef (grass fed), I don't notice as much of a difference, although I can taste it. But with chicken it is night and day difference. I don't even need to season it much, I just take the skinless chicken and throw it into a Foreman grill. If I tried that with regular chicken, the neighborhood cats would be getting a feast.

What does this pansy expect? Subway sucks.

There’s no reason to eat at a national chain unless you’re stuck in a truckstop or airport.

And Subway sucks more than just about any other national chain.

For some unknown reason, a Subway opened on the way to my kids' school, and being a naive 7 year old, my son blurted out "Subway is good."

My daughter and I laid into him with a ruthlessness that only family can conjur up. "Mmmmm... I'm going to get an Italian Hoagie with green bell peppers, cucumbers and "Italian" dressing!"

To this day I still hear a quiver in his voice whenever we pass it.

I highly recommend the KFC “Double Down” ...


Really? Looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

Its worth it. I plan to serve them every night for dinner until I can’t get into my skinny jeans, then I’ll fast long enough to wear them again. Repeat.

That reminds me of a classic "Introduction" of Mike Baker on Red Eye:

I have to be honest and say I wouldn’t know a hen from a pen. When I see a chicken its at the local country fair or when its plucked and packaged for cookin’

I’ve had their ham & turkey sandwich many times...never had a problem. But let’s think about this - the price point is a $5 sandwich. I don’t critique the ham’s degree of smokiness, or wonder if the turkey was free-range. Nor do I check every piece of lettuce to see if a piece or two or 300 are a bit wilted.

Just eat & leave. I apply the McDonald’s standard - if I don’t get sick, it was fine.

1. He looks kinda goofy to me, but to each his own.

2. If you are implying I might be uglier than the author, you would be correct. But I would still rather have my ugly mug than be that guy.

I include subway in my lunch plans at this office sometime because there isn’t much else that’d be quick.

However the chicken breast is like a rubber biscuit. The sliced sandwich meats taste better and have better texture and cost the same.

He needs to take some eyeshadow and fill out that mustache a bit.

I like Subway, but the author is correct. The chicken-sub-thingy is pretty disgusting.

I ate at a Subway a couple of times years ago. Never again.
