Jimmy John's

I had heard good things about Jimmy John's but I could never nail down what they did there. I asked a friend the other day who was having a to-go sandwich from there if it was better than Jersey Mike's. She said it was. I decided to give it a try today.
I went to the new location in Kenwood near Half Price Books. It was a pleasant interior. The staff seemed a bit surly but nonetheless I ordered a #5 The Vito. This is a Italian Sub with genoa salami, provolone, capicola, onion, lettuce, tomato and vinaigrette. I added the free hot peppers. If it were not for the peppers, that sandwich would have been tasteless. It was beyond bland. For something that had capicola and salami I was surprised. Their vinaigrette seemed mostly just like oil than a vinagrette. I think it was good enough for the price I paid for it, but I'd rather eat at Penn Station. Or even Jersey Mike's.

  2. Perhaps you could tell me which sandwich that would be. Because the one that I had was bland as could be. Have you ever been to Jersey Mike's or Penn Station or for that matter Sub Station II? Much better sandwich in my opinion.
