The healthiest sandwiches on Jersey Mike's menuIf you are more interested in a classic cold sub, you can opt for the No.1 BLT, which contains only 700 calories. If your concern lies with sodium intake, the best option for you is the No. 6 Roast Beef and Provolone, which has 1,111.66 mg of sodium.
Yup, it's already unhealthier than Subway's unhealthiest sandwich. It also has 22 grams of fat, 1,990 milligrams of sodium, and 10 grams of sugar. A sandwich at Jersey Mike's might have an extra inch and a half on Subway, but that shouldn't result in sandwiches that are so much unhealthier.
Many of Jimmy John's menu items tend to be high in sodium, so choose carefully if you are watching your sodium intake. Sub sandwiches are Jimmy John's specialty and are the better nutritional choice over their club sandwiches. The clubs tend to have more saturated fat due to the added bacon.
The bottom line. Subway offers a better variety of healthy meal options than many other fast food restaurants. In general, Subway's meals are low in sugar and a decent source of fiber and protein, however, many are also loaded with fat and sodium. Part of Subway's appeal is that you can customize your meal.
Jersey Mike's does not have any vegan cheese or proteins, but all of the following toppings are vegan-friendly: Avocado.
Nothing says Jersey Mike's more than our Original Italian. A truly authentic Jersey-style Italian sub, it's crafted with provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni.

But the real offenders when it comes to sodium totals are the sandwiches: a 10-inch cheesesteak rings in at 730 calories with a hefty 2,380 milligrams of sodium, and a 10-inch Italian hoagie is even worse, coming in at 950 calories with 3,510 milligrams of sodium.
Jersey Mike's is definitely a better place to get a sandwich, but if you are on the run it is more convenient to get Jimmy John's. And although Jersey Mike's is more fresh, and tastes better, it is still a sandwich, and it may not be worth it to go out of you way to get one.

Between Two Slices: Which Chain Makes the Best Italian Sub?
- Subway.
- Wawa.
- Firehouse Subs.
- Blimpie.
- Jersey Mike's.
- Jimmy John's.
- QuickChek.
- Primo Hoagies.
Salami is traditionally made with pork meat, but some varieties may be made with beef, venison, poultry or other meats. The meat is blended with fat and then mixed with herbs and seasonings, such as salt, garlic or vinegar.
Capicola and prosciutto are both cured meats made from pork, but prosciutto is made from the hindquarters of the pig. Capicola is made from the neck or shoulders, generally from the coppa muscle. Prosciutto is a smoked and aged meat, and takes up to 24 months to mature.
Slice the Italian roll lengthwise, but not completely through; leave a hinge. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of herbed mayo on the roll. Layer the cheese, ham, salami, tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, and pepperoncini. Close the sandwich tightly.
Best Italian Deli Meats
- Mortadella. Italy's answer to bologna, mortadella is an elevated version of the American lunchtime favorite.
- Porchetta. This deli meat is different from most Italian versions in that it isn't entirely cured through, which means it doesn't last as long.
- Culatello.
- Prosciutto.
- Pancetta.
The term Italian is used in Maine. The term has its origin in Portland, Maine in 1899, when Giovanni Amato of Amato's Italian delicatessen first sold the sandwich, called "an Italian" by locals.
Those who voted for a hot dog being a sandwich are not without support. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) describes a sandwich as “a meat or poultry filling between two slices of bread, a bun, or a biscuit.†By that definition, sure, a hot dog is a sandwich.
Leftovers. This sandwich is definitely best served fresh! The Italian dressing can make it a little soggy, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge wrapped tightly, or in an airtight container for 2 days.
