Subway

I'll take food for $200 Alex.

Answer: This Italian condiment spices up lunch and dinner, sandwiches and salads, tuna and turkey, beef and broth.  

Buzzzz.

Michael?

What is giardiniera?

Right again.

On a shore north of the city lies a town called Glencoe.  People have their assumptions about this affluent suburb, but they may not know about a little gem of a Subway tucked in the corner of the Hubbard Woods Plaza.  This two story Subway erases all pre conceived notions one might have about your local sandwich chain.

Sure, they only have a couple sandwiches on the $5 Footlong menu, and they are always out of paper towels in the john, but THEY DON'T CHARGE FOR GIARDINIERA.  Let me repeat that.  GIARDINIERA IS FREE.  I shed not one, not two, but a stream of tears and boogers when they said "no" to my "is there an extra charge for giardiniera?" question.

The upstairs dining area (remember, this is Glencoe) has leather chairs around circular wooden tables...think Starbucks but with a horrible Subway smell.  Flatscreens on the walls provide minutes/hours of entertainment.

And the best thing about this Subway location are the employees.  They don't giggle or look at me weird when I order a footlong meatball sub on wheat with lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, pickles, giardiniera, and no cheese.  I know meatball subs are supposed to be on italian with provolone, but hey, a guys gotta get his veggies.

Pick again, Michael.

I'll take IBS for $1000 please.

If you can avoid I would not go here. There's nothing wrong with the food, but the people that work there were some of the grumpiest I've ever met. I was in last week they were absolutely miserable.
