I tried the quiznos chest sandwich, and it was nothing like what I had expected

To start, I had some opinions on the barbecue sauce ...


Barbecue, Like all southern opinion in Southers will be happy to remind you, is not cooked meat on a grill. (It's a kitchen!) This is not the sauce either. Yes, barbecue sauce plays a game, but it really refers to a kind of baked and slow cooked meat. But today, the barbecue is mainly associated with a very specific type of sauce: Kansas city style barbecue sauce.

Its popularity is not a mystery: it's very sweet. Like thick Teriyaki sauce, honey mustard and ketchup, sweet and tasty pendulum (although when it is produced in series, it tends to rely to Sweet) has a massive call. And while the barbecue snobes will reject it for the way the thick sauce can hide the complex flavors of slowly cooked meats, I still think it has its place on things decidedly non-barbling as nuggets orsandwiches.

Quiznos has just released theirSUBIN chest bare barely limited, that they charge as being filled with the chest that was smoked for 1 pm, all garnished with cheddar, pickles, red onions and a gentle smoked barbecue sauce. You can only get it on October 21, so I headed for my nearest quiznos and decided to give the Smoky Sub to try.

What I thought of the underpants of the chest of the smoked chest with mashed

In the new chest sandwich of the smoked chest at the new quizno desk, the dangers of Kansas' citizen-style sauce have been applied too obviously. There, it is their chest smoked in such golf courses and goops that any other flavor immediately disappears until you are left with a tongue coating candy that dull all the other sensations. If you have already wondered to know what it is to be able to chew a sauce, it will give you a quite narrow approximation.

It was enough sausage

The sauce, to start, was actually not so bad. Although most of the chain barbecue sauces are strongly looking at the side of the sweet, it had enough of a tang to make it interesting. The problem was that the sandwich was constructed with so much sauce. The bread has been grilled with a spike of warm sauce and the meat has also been overcome with it, before being heated. The result was that at the end of my sandwich, the bread was so soaked with the sauce, it had turned into a sponge to the sauce, and one of the subtlety of the first taste had totally disappeared. He also obscured any other flavor in the rest of the sandwich, who is a shame, because they were not just as bad.

The meat was mediocre

Do not deceive me: it's not the chest of the smoked chest in Texas writes love songs. This is where true barbecue purists squeaked teeth because what is a texas-style barbecue cup that covers in cheese and a sauce very no to Texas? And maybe that's where my hometown plays a role, because I have just been part of Tennessee without a tradition of indigenous barbecue. Unlike my neighbors in the Carolinas, there is no style that I will put my life. I just want good meat and sufficient meat to shine alone. It was not that, but it was not terrible, either. Or at least, it was not so bad that it could have been, given the source.

Minously sliced, it lacks delicious tank texture and fall, juicy of the real thing. But I was in Quiznos, no Franklin BBQ, and it seems a little naive to wait for real smoked meats in Texas in a sandwich chain. Instead, I appreciated that he had at least a good amount of mask and flavor, compared to lighter sliced ​​meat at most sandwich places. You could at least say that it had been smoked, if not particularly with confidence. The inclusion of pickles and onions has also added a beautiful brightness that I appreciated in the first bites. Cheese, unfortunately, has never been given a chance to fight. The creamosity was too subtle against the attack of other flavors.

Final verdict

This leads to the following question: Would I come back again if I knew how to ask for a much lighter hand on the sauce? Maybe for some reason, I was trapped in a quiznos. But even if the chest itself was not so bad, the bread filling ratio is quite low. You are much better to get something that you can stuff with real fittings, not an onion and pickle spine. But, by the same token, it is difficult to imagine wanting to stack objects like lettuce or tomato on a barbecue sandwich. Overall, this sandwich is easy skip.
