Subway Sees Footlong Breakfast Sandos in Your Future

March 23, 2010 12:37 pm · Posted by nancyeinhart

Whether you need a healthy breakfast or hangover cure, Subway is here to help. Starting in April, the sandwich chain will roll out a breakfast menu featuring egg sandwiches on your choice of whole-wheat English muffin, flatbread, or yes, Subway's usual six-inch or footlong rolls.

I love breakfast sandwiches with an all-consuming passion, especially after a night of drinking. But 12 inches of bacon and egg seems a bit excessive. On an English muffin, though, the other choices sound reasonably healthy and yummy: Western egg and cheese, ham, egg, and cheese, and steak or bacon with egg and cheese. You can even garnish them with veggies or order egg whites only.

Oddly, the article makes no mention of Subway's first attempt at breakfast sandwiches on round kaiser rolls many years ago. Am I the only person who remembers those?

Subway: Yea or Nay?

I'm no sandwich snob, so I'm not embarrassed to admit that I like Subway sandwiches. From high school through adulthood, they have gotten me through many late-night deadlines and road trips. I love the bread, the funny little cheese triangles, the oil and vinegar and olives — all of it!

According to recent news, Subway could soon have more stores than McDonald's. I know sandwich lovers who poo-poo Subway, and if given the choice, I'll eat at a local shop instead. But if the choice is between Subway and other fast food, I welcome the healthier sandwiches. What say you?
