I think a few weeks of snow and cold is better than having only
industrial food.

I agree about the wonder bread. A good sub needs a good roll that is a
little crispy and has real texture. Most of the real sub places in my
area use rolls made by a great local Italian bakery.

Sometimes your nose will hope you find real subs. I was working at a
location where I don't really know the area. There was the unmistakable
aroma of a really good sub coming from the break room across the hall. I
went over and asked and it turns out there was a mom & pop sub shop two
blocks away.
