Hey guys. I think most of you may have forgotten that Subway has 8 different subs with 6 grams of fat or less. Who could turn down a 6" Veggie Delite? Certainly not me. Have you guys checked the nutrition information on those cheesecakes? That type of garbage is reserved for only the bodies of pot smoking hippies like my former colleague Michael Phelps. 1 piece of cheesecake has 930 calories and contains 91% of your daily fat needs. And who could forget our famous $5 foot longs. I could sing the song if you'd like. Subway. Eat Fresh.

Do you guys remember when we used to use the V cut on our bread? I really liked that better than the simple straight cut that we use now. It doesn't show the skill of the sandwich artisans that we hire.

I had a major issue with my Subway from lunch today. So it is Cheesecake Factory in a runaway. Frankly I think the food is ridiculously overpriced but Mrs. Sly loves the place.

This one's tough, so I'm going by the book, looking at the criteria laid out in the first post.
Value
Taste
Atmosphere
Service
Value goes to Subway. Taste is a draw, though I have never ordered regular food at any Cheesecake Factory I've ever been to. I know that the cheesecake there is better than any Subway sandwich I've ever had, but I'm trying to compare apples to apples. Atmosphere goes to Cheesecake Factory, as does service. So I'm voting Cheesecake Factory.

And I agree with Jared -- I wish they still did the V cut in the top. The sub held together better.

Taste is a draw? Yikes! We're not comparing Quizno's and Subway it's a 3 or 4 star restaurant compared to a sub joint

i cant believe people actually like the cheesecake factory. You dont get alot of food for the price, the food is mediocre at best, the service is good, but that doesnt mean its the best resturaunt in the world. Their cheesecake is good, yeah, but like its been said, anyones mom can make cheesecake just as good if not better.

Subway got my vote even though I dont think ive ever had anything but a footlong meatball from there

Subway put me in the hospital and made me sick another time, and we eat it way too much for lunch on tennis trips.
Cheesecake Factory is great, so went with that.

Oh my! not enough food for the price? I think they may have slightly cut back on there portions but the first couple times I went they they gave ridiculously large portions. It does depend what you order though. I know the chicken and biscuits used to be enough for two or three people. Maybe they have changed.

If it's Subway vs getting a nice thank you from a lady friend then I know which one I'm choosing. However, we didn't base this on best date restaurant.
