- If I ate the whole thing, would I be okay?
(upbeat music) Mm, top of the pops.
(exhales) They excel at fun stuff.
Oh, the best thing on the menu at Subway is...
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
Hi, I'm Tom, and today,
I'm gonna be eating everything at Subway
and finding out which thing is the best
so you don't have to.
I suppose it was only a matter of time
before this video came along.
I hope you appreciate the fact
that we have our green backdrop up today
in keeping with the Subway branding I thought.
You know what I've just thought as well, because it's green,
we can make this video happen wherever we want.
What are we thinking?
Bahamas or outer space or a sandwich shop, quaint cottage?
Subway is an absolutely gigantic worldwide chain.
It has over 40,000 restaurants worldwide.
Over 2,000 of those Subway restaurants are in the U.K.,
which is the most across all of Europe.
I love sandwiches, they are portable, convenient,
able to eat with your hands.
I honestly could go on for hours
about how amazing I think sandwiches are.
But that's not what we're here to do.
Let's get the food.
(placid music) (plastic rustling)
(Tom belching) It smells
like I'm in a Subway right now.
(placid music) I'm just sort of taking it in
to be honest, I don't know. (air whooshing)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
There's 16 sandwiches, and then all the sides,
and the cookies as well.
I actually found out this fun fact,
which is taking into account all the breads, fillings,
sauces, salads, all stuff like that,
there are actually over 37 million combinations
of sandwiches that you could make at Subway.
And I think 37 million sandwiches might be pushing it.
So, what instead we decided to do was go
with what Subway suggests. (upbeat music)
I'm gonna write down what I think
will be the best thing on the menu.
Then at the end, we can see
what I actually thought was the best
and see if anything's changed.
No peaking, please. (pad thumping)
First sandwich is Meatless Meatball, vegan.
(placid music) It's a meatball sub
with vegan meatballs.
My mouth is salivating so much, I'm so excited to get going.
Let's start a timer and see how long this goes on for.
Okay, wow, mm.
If you gave this to me and didn't give me any context,
I wouldn't know that that wasn't meat.
When I kind of sit and think about it,
(placid music) yeah, it tastes more
kind of like Quorn, I love the taste of Quorn,
I think Quorn is delicious.
I assumed the bread would be really, really soggy.
There was absolutely no sign of soggage there at all.
Composure, close the box, let's move on to the next one.
This is the TLC, (gasps) Tastes Like Chicken,
another vegan offering, okay.
Tada, oh, this one came with a dip.
Very well put together sandwich, doesn't look wet at all.
The thing I totally was gearing myself up
to have to deal with today was soggy sandwiches.
And I just kind of was like, "It's okay, it'll be fine."
But so far so good, no sog at all.
(upbeat music) Haha, here's a fun thing.
I don't think I've ever had vegan chicken before.
So, this is exciting first for me, cheers.
Oh wow, mm, it even has a chickeny texture,
how did they do that?
Of course, I've tried it with the vegan aioli,
a little dip there, let's go.
Mm, top of the pops.
I did not think I'd be starting this Subway video
with two vegan offerings.
And I also didn't think
that the vegan offerings would be so good.
(laughs) I tell you.
Turkey Breast and Ham, that sounds simple enough.
(upbeat music)
This is Hearty Italian,
which is the bread I used to always get.
It might be because the first time I went to Subway,
the person I was with ordered before me
and got Hearty Italian, and I just sort of,
the power of conformity was just sort of like,
"Oh yeah, Hearty Italian."
And then I never broke that.
Tell me in the comments, is Hearty Italian the best?
Do you have a different favorite?
Let me know.
Turkey Breast and Ham, cheers.
(upbeat music) A little boring.
This is a sandwich I would make myself.
Let's dip it in the honey and mustard sauce
and see if that helps.
See, now it's like the sandwich that I made for myself
but I also poured myself a ramekin
of honey and mustard dressing
and dipped it in that (snorts).
A bit dull, (belches) excuse me.
Spicy Italian, cheers. (upbeat music)
Waiting for the notes to come through.
I'm not getting a load of flavor from this, if I'm honest.
Created a dipping peninsula so that I can dip it
without having to mash, you see?
The flavor of this one kinda gets swallowed up
by the salad.
I can slightly tastes that there is pepperoni
and bacon in there.
I'm not perceiving any spice, meh.
Okay, next up we have Chicken Tikka.
Chicken Tikka is an interesting one
because different establishments have wildly varying ideas
of what a chicken tikka flavor is.
(upbeat music) This is on
Hearty Italian again, see, see, you see,
this is the third sandwich in a row
that's had Hearty Italian.
I'm sure that it's a thing.
Padam, Chicken Tikka, let's go.
A solid interpretation of chicken tikka.
I wouldn't order it, chicken flavored in this way
performs the best in a curry with rice.
I just prefer that flavor in that context personally.
But this one's not for me as much.
This ranch is good, I dipped it a lot (laughs).
(belches) Excuse me, next.
Italian B.M.T., I was told this by a boy at school
that B.M.T. stands for Big, Meaty, Tasty, is that correct?
If it isn't, it's a joke that fully
has been going on for the past 15 years.
Tiger Bread, huh, I've never
had the Tiger Bread from Subway before.
Ham, pepperoni and salami, boom.
This does still have the kind of low tech vibe
of the Turkey and Ham one from before,
but because there's more types of meat
and it's been toasted,
it just feels like it's leveled up a little bit.
I really liked the Southwest sauce.
Please, someone, enlighten me as to what it is.
(belches) Next, Cheese and Pepperoni, ooh, that's fun.
It's like a little pizza sub.
Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, what is this bread?
Heh, what is this, Herb and Cheese?
I didn't know there was a Herb and Cheese bread.
Am I being really dumb?
Has just been a thing all the time?
See, this is why you should make choices for yourself
but I just followed what everyone else was doing,
and got Hearty Italian and just stuck with it for years.
I didn't know there was a cheese and herb bread.
(sighs) Anyway, it's fine, I know now.
(gasps) It's got jalapenos in as well.
Oh my God, okay, this looks really good.
Look at that bread though, cheers.
(upbeat music)
(laughs) Ah, it's a pizza sandwich.
I'm sorry, that's just fabulous.
This cheesy bread, are you kidding?
You know when you make cheese on toast,
and a bit kinda comes off the side
and it kind of goes a bit brown and burnt, unreal?
Also, cheese and pepperoni, to me,
I thought that sounded really like simple and kinda boring.
Wow, mm, lots to think about here, this is gonna be tough.
Next, Tuna, if I'm going to somewhere like Subway,
I can't imagine myself ordering a tuna sandwich
'cause it's just sort of like I could have made that
for so cheap at home.
But having said that,
tuna is one of my favorite sandwich fillings, tuna.
(upbeat music)
Tuna really is the catch-all sandwich filling,
it's delicious, it's nutritious.
Let's dip it in the honey and mustard dressing.
Oh, wow, yeah, mm-hmm, the salad selection
of this sandwich is also very on point.
Lettuce, cucumber, red onion,
they're perfect companions to tuna.
I didn't realize quite how much I loved tuna
until I just started talking about it just now (laughs).
Next up Veggie Delite, I don't even know what that is.
The best way to find out is to look I think.
(upbeat music) Oh okay, Veggie Delite is,
(laughs) it's literally just salad
with a bit of mozzarella in bread.
I'm sorry, this is not it.
If you have dietary requirements, you need not be limited
to just having salad in a sandwich, why?
Okay, so I've successfully gone through (laughs)
the right column of sandwiches, which is good.
I feel like exposed now.
It's okay, that's not what they here for,
they're here for me to eat, not for me to live in.
Next sandwich is Steak, is it a whole piece steak?
Oh, it's that amazing cheese bread again, oh my God.
It's not a big piece of steak, bread,
it's little bits of steak. (upbeat music)
This is me searching for the flavor.
Weird, I can't taste the steak at all.
Next, Roast Chicken, like a Sunday roast?
Pow, that's lovely, I'm never gonna turn my back
on a chicken salad sandwich, fresh, it's tasty.
It's not massively unhealthy.
it's got all the types of salad in there.
You've got a bit of carbs from the bread.
You got the protein from the chicken.
I think a chicken salad sandwich
is a very well balanced lunch, I'll say it.
Give it the old dipper there.
Ah, oh God, I lost a tomato.
So far, I'm really enjoying the ones which are a bit more,
have a bit more panache, you know what I mean,
a bit more pizzazz, I've not used the word "panache"
I think literally ever, I don't know why
that just came out there, panache.
Next up is Chicken Teriyaki.
Ooh, yes, this has got my name written all over it.
It's just that delicious combination of soy and honey.
And it's just, yes. (upbeat music)
Oh, that's a shame, I'll be honest,
it's a little bit lacking, yeah, I'm disappointed.
I thought the Chicken Teriyaki
would be really good and it's not.
(belches) I'm so sorry, excuse me.
Meatball Marinara, wow.
This sandwich could not be more intact.
Look at that, look at the thing.
It's absolutely fine, cheers.
(upbeat music) Mm, that's so good.
Meatballs in a sandwich screams,
"Don't put me on an absorbent piece of bread."
And yet here we are, it works fine,
the structural integrity is all good and it tastes amazing.
I don't know how they do it.
Meatball Marinara, I'm paying attention.
Let's try the next one, Turkey Breast.
Turkey and salad with Lite Mayo is the skinny sandwich.
A bit drab I think, a little pale looking, cheers.
(upbeat music)
It's just not worth the order.
Why go to Subway if you're getting that,
do you know what I mean?
They excel at fun stuff, get the fun stuff.
Next, Mega Meat, names like "Mega Meat" I'm wary of.
Five, six, seven different types of meat,
I just don't like the sound of it.
Having said that, that's completely me guessing.
I've got no idea what's gonna be in this box.
So of course let's find out.
Oh, okay, really is Mega Meat.
(upbeat music)
It is a little much, it's an awful lot of meat.
And it's kind of like if I ate the whole thing,
would I be okay?
It's not unpleasant
but I could not eat the whole sandwich of that.
I feel like (gasps), you know what I mean?
(exhales) This is a tough one.
This is a challenge, I'll be honest, I'll say it.
(upbeat music) (sighs) So,
we've done all the sandwiches, what is this?
It's actually quite a lot.
Ah, Steak Bite, oh, (gasps)
it's a little mini ciabatta thing.
(upbeat music)
Loving the use of ciabatta, ultra portable.
However, that doesn't change the fact
that the steak tastes of nothing.
It literally doesn't have any flavor.
I don't understand how this is happening.
Next, next we've got the Ham Bite, cheers.
10 times better, ooh, I'll have a little Ham Bite.
(upbeat music) (paper crunching)
Next, okay, next up we have the Mozzarella Bite.
Ooh, it's full of dressing or something.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this?
Oh my God, this is the first and only sandwich
we have in the entire collection
which has Sweet Onion Sauce.
How have I never had the Sweet Onion Sauce?
This is incredible.
It's vegan mozzarella, and I didn't even know.
So yet another reason why this one really
has just become a real showstopper.
Next, the Cheese Bite in a teeny tiny little ciabatta.
Also, I've never seen little square ciabattas like this.
This is a proper tiny little number.
I'm not getting cheddar at all,
and mozzarella is a very mild flavored cheese, very mild.
It's essentially like I'm eating a Sriracha sandwich,
which don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining,
but this is something I would make when I was drunk.
Next (sighs), okay. (upbeat music)
Next we have the Tuna Bite.
Mm, you know?
Next, oh, what, is this a thing?
It's just the cheese on toast.
No, toast, it's just cheese on bread.
It's garlic cheese on toast, aha, okay.
I didn't know they did this, cute.
What's this? (paper crunching)
Are these Hash Browns?
It's like a little old hockey puck made of potato.
Oh, these are unreal, oh my God.
Even though they're cold and a bit soggy now,
they have the same kinda seasoning that Curly Fries have,
do you know what I mean?
Anyway, it's good.
I didn't wanna say it before
'cause I thought it would be premature,
but we are on the home stretch, guys.
Let's go for the Doritos Nachos.
(dramatic music) (sighs) I don't wanna,
I don't wanna eat it.
This isn't really Subway's fault
that these look a bit past their prime,
and that's because they are.
Nachos are those things that you make, you serve, you eat.
Nachos are not designed to be sat in a box
for an hour and a half.
I'm gonna try and judge them as if they were new.
Surprisingly good, actually.
The salsa is nice, the cheese is good.
It's a shame I got to them so late.
Oh good, it's the Hot and Framin' Nachos (laughs).
They're Nachos made with Chilli Heatwave Doritos,
which actually is genius.
Chili Heatwave Doritos are by far
and away my favorite Doritos.
They taste better, they're more interesting.
They're more deeper, red, fun color.
Everything about them is just more fun.
Yeah, this is genius.
Next, I have been eyeing this up the entire time,
and I don't know what it is.
I'm like, "Is it beans, like, is it a milkshake?
"Like, what's in here?" (upbeat music)
Ah, Bowl of meatballs.
It's the delicious meatballs again.
What I'll say to that is see my review
of the Meatball sub and then imagine it without bread.
And that's what this is.
(belches) Excuse me.
A bunch of cookies (laughs).
Tada, Chocolate Chunk Cookie.
Oh my God, that's so good.
Something about the actual cookie dough,
it has almost a sort of candy flavor to it.
I don't know how to explain it.
Next up is the Double Chocolate Cookie.
Really good again.
If you've ever had the kid's cereal Weetos,
this tastes just like that.
This is the White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookie.
Oh, this is nice.
We have the Rainbow Candy Cookie.
It's essentially the Chocolate Chunk Cookie
with the added panache of the sort of candy shell.
"Panache" is my new favorite word, can you tell?
And finally, the final thing, we've made it to the end,
the final thing we're having today
is the Vegan Double Chocolate Cookie.
Now, would you look at that?
We started on the vegan items
and in a poetic turn of events,
we have ended up right back where we started
with another vegan offering. (upbeat music)
Vegan chocolate I've not got much experience with.
I don't really know what to expect.
Cheers, Vegan Chocolate Cookie.
It's really good, that is lovely.
Honestly, it just goes to show that if you're a vegan,
you really kind of still enjoy everything.
Oh (belches) excuse me, oh my goodness.
Okay, so it was one hour 40 that took.
Yeah, I feel very sleepy.
Sorry if I look a little fatigued, it's because I am.
(air whooshing) This has definitely
been the most I've ever thought about Subway
at any given time. (upbeat music)
I've been pleasantly surprised with what I've found.
I definitely preferred the more kind of fancy ingredients
that I wouldn't just sort of have in my fridge.
So with that in mind, I am honored, happy, elated
to tell you the best thing (dramatic music)
on the menu at Subway is Meatball Marinara, 100%.
(upbeat music) (audience cheering)
The tomato sauce is great, the meatballs are delicious.
And this one in particular,
I love the seeded bread that it came on.
I absolutely love that it came with jalapenos and cheese.
This sandwich is just perfect for me, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Having said all of that,
there are a couple of Subway discoveries
that I've made today that I would like to share with you.
First of all, did everyone know
about the Italian Herb and Cheese Bread?
Because I had no idea that existed.
It's bread with cheese built in.
Do you want cheese on your sandwich?
I've already got it 'cause of the bread, that's amazing.
And the second thing, I have to give an honorable mention
to the Sweet Onion Sauce, oh my God.
So, the sandwich that I thought at the start
would the best was Italian B.M.T., and I was wrong.
I was totally wrong, if anything,
I felt the Italian B.M.T. was actually a bit boring.
Sometimes the only way to find something out
is to try every single one and have an informed decision.
Thank you so much for watching this video.
If you think of any establishment, product,
or food type that you'd like me to try everything off,
please let me know in the comments 'cause I do read them
and I love reading your suggestions.
Until next time, tara. (upbeat music)
