Today we visit End of Earth, because we've been just about everywhere else. Located in Michigan, I can't really tell you much more about it, but according to this sign:

it is 2 miles from Houghton, Michigan, and thus somewhere on this map:

Less posters than usual--no one with 5 or less.

I have no bloody clue what Quizno's is, but it needs a better name. One that doesn't sound like "quiz nose". I don't want a nose with quizzes dribbling out of it.

i associate quiznos with a hepatitis outbreak in boston years ago. but they make much heartier (more calories but still fresh) subs than subway, have lots of sauces, a cool toasting machine, and good soup. and are slightly more expensive.

really i don't go to either unless it's the only choice, i prefer "ethnic" food (nod to stuffwhitepeoplelike). spicey food, that is, so if i want a sandwich near fenway, where there's deangelo's, subway, quiznos, etc, i'll go to this little middle eastern place and get falafel or eggplant or something

 

[The Sad Punk]

Good, a cool 50.

Oh god, I'm such a white person. Whenever my brother and I go to this Ethiopian place here, I feel uncomfortable when there are some white college students there too. I'm like, fuck you guys, I'm white and I was here first.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

You know who has good sandwiches?

http://www.penn-station.com/

The first time I ate there, I was like "I am never stepping foot in Subway again."

Their fries are also delicious

The ingredients are all fresh too, they cut the potatoes for the fries, bake the bread, and cut the meat and cheeses and vegetables all right there in the store.

Cool.

 

[Varitek]

i guess it's not so much ethnic food as genre food and not plain old american. cause bbq, cajun, etc are delicious. and some italian or french hits the spot at the right time. then i do love american steaks, fish, soups, etc: legal seafoods.

when i get home from school i'm going to a french cambodian place with my mom

But if I'm having chicken, I don't want some salad dressing. I want proper sauce. I don't see how it's unreasonable to expect the two primary sauces to be available. I was stunned that I had to resort to mustard the first time, because they had neither barbecue nor tomato (and yes, I even lowered myself to asking for "ketchup" in a vain bid to get something to go with my chicken).

Good God you Yanks are weird sometimes.

Hey now, when it comes to these things, I'm in complete agreement with you.

 

[LemonMelon]

Time for sleep. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I think most of the food I've been eating lately is Mexican or Indian.

so basically I'm in Heaven.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Night, LeMel!

Oceania has disowned you.

Cool. I'm still just amazed that they didn't even have tomato sauce. And the Americans I was eating with did not find this unusual. They were baffled that I wanted barbecue (or tomato) sauce. They kept pointing to the lettuce and onions and stuff and asked why I didn't want a salad dressing. I resolutely pointed to my chicken and shook my head and swore at the Subway.

(Apparently it was a truly classic moment when I first asked for barbecue sauce, they said they didn't have it, and I just blurted out "WHAT?!")

G'night, LM.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I need to go too. I'm starving, so I think I'll hunker down with a snack and my Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide (I believe you would approve, Ax )

 

[Axver]

Oceania has disowned you.

But I needed sauce and they were too stupid to know what I meant by tomato sauce.

At least I never tipped anyone. I let my friends do that for me. Seriously, fuck you, I'm not paying your wages.

Very much approve.

Have a good one!

i'd go for bbq at subway. also pesto. marinara i like on chicken parm (without any veggies) or meatball subs, which subway does have, but they probably have it already mixed with the meatballs

Oceania forgives you, as you did not tip those demons.
