Sandwich Showdown XXVI

In a delayed post, we pit the Subway Melt on Herbs and Cheese against the limited-time offer BBQ Pulled Pork on Italian. The Melt brought out its normal good flavors on the three meat deal. The bread was above average, complimenting well with the meats. The BBQ was a bit overboard though, making a bit of a mess at time in the non-absorbent sandwich. The rookie Pulled Pork did not bring Hot 'n' Spicy to the table, opting for Subway's new BBQ sauce, a first time feature around here in likely 6-8 years. It is in the Premium division of sandwiches, packed to the brim with meat. The taste was a very good blend, with the sauce being tangy and sweet. The meat was sometimes too much for the bread, and it also had mess potential. As a rookie, it did well, and I'd say the two were a virtual tie for the week. Next week's post hopefully will be more timely. As a side note, my forgetfulness will cancel the Fantasy Baseball All-Stars post for the All-Star week just behind us.
