Planet Sub (Yello Sub)

Fellow Jayhawks will probably be pleased to know that a version of Yello Sub is scheduled to open in Lincoln Park in January. Planet Sub is a Kansas City based chain originated in Lawrence, Kansas by Yello Sub . I guess for legal reasons the franchises outside of Lawrence were not able to use the name Yello Sub. Although Chicago is not in dire need of more chain sandwich shops, a Green Turkey might make me consider a move back to Chicago. That and a Waffle House franchise.

The menu does not seem to be available yet for the Chicago franchise but is available to view from links to the other locations.[/url]

I've had Planet Sub in KC and they are pretty good as chainlike subs go. Roughly equivalent to a Potbelly and miles above Quizno's/Subway.

Wow, first Waxman Candles, next Yello Sub, after that... well, actually I can't think of anything else to come from Lawrence and conquer the world.

You mean besides Hugh Beaumont and Jim Thorpe? And of course William Burroughs.

And of course William Burroughs.

Whom I'm responsible for bringing to Lawrence!

Well, about 1/8th responsible. When I was running the film society and on the student activities committee, we booked Allen Ginsberg for a talk or performance or something, and Burroughs tagged along for fun, I guess. Anyway, it was the first time he'd been to Lawrence, but being a midwestern boy at heart (that junkie homosexual wife-shooter stuff was just a phase he went through) I guess he liked it, or liked the low real estate prices compared to New York, and moved there within the year.

A few years later I booked him to give a reading in Wichita at the Art Association. The blue-haired ladies who ran it had no idea that he and his boyfriend were toking up before the reading in the same dressing room where my sisters had once dressed for a Christmas play...



As I said, a midwestern boy, with typically good midwestern manners.

So, Mr. Burroughs conquered the world then came to Lawrence. Pure genius! Always thinking outside the box, that one. Although I always thought he was just leching on the younger, better looking Beats. Although the William Tell stunt is unparalleled. What kind of sub sandwiches did WSB like to eat?
