There's something weird about Subways. I'm guessing they have very low franchise fees or overhead or something. They're worse than Starbucks for being just everywhere. You can take a road trip through the middle of nowhere. Warning signs that say "no gas for 120 miles, no offramp for 60 miles," but then when you finally get there, sure enough, they have a Subway.

Good. Subway isn't worth the prices for the quality of food they offer. It's cheaper and fresher to just buy the ingredients yourself and make ahead sandwiches of your liking for a week or two. Almost any other deli restaurant or good grocery store will offer better subs at only a little higher price if convenience is a factor.

They are the Little Ceasar's of sandwiches, except LC is actually passable when hot and making pizza yourself in a home oven is much more difficult.

Ghetto? Buy some teriyaki sauce. Saute some sweet onions. Mix with the sauce. Puree in blender.

Nice? Saute sweet onions. Add equal parts mirin, sake, and soy sauce. Add some slices of fresh ginger, smashed garlic, and dried red chilies, plus some sugar. Yellow rock sugar if you're feeling extra-fancy. Simmer it until it gets thick. Remove ginger, puree.

Adjust the amount of sugar and the chili pepper to your personal preference of course.
