Sorry, but I'm not taking this one for the team...

LTH,

I recently noticed walking by a loop Subway store, that they're now offering a felafel sandwich, which is also available on their new flatbread. I'd have to be mighty desperate to try this sandwich.

Imagine this: A 12" Subway "felafel" sandwich with Ranch dressing, American cheese, and pre-cut veggies out of plastic bags.

And you can enjoy it with an add on of guacamole!

from what Ive read about the Subway falafel sandwich incarnation uses a creamy cucumber sauce (IE like tzatziki sauce) and not Ranch dressing. With that fact still the image of the sandwich doesn't look too appetizing. I assume the falafel balls are premade and oven baked and lying around in a toppings container which kills the falafel!

Given that falafel shops in the Loop are becoming as ubiquitous as Subway shops (I passed three on Van Buren the other day while walking to a fourth), they're arriving a little late to the game -- and with the wrong equipment.

I think I just threw up in my mouth...

I find myself drawn to these ads to the point where I should probably start avoiding Subways while really hungry. I don't know that I ever actually want to ride the snake itself but I do kind of want to frame the poster as art in my home.

I kind of liked it...

The falafel is pretty good, albeit a bit dry, but in its full sandwich glory, it's surprisingly good. They really should have 'designed it' with red onions... really missing something without them and salt and pepper.
