- I ordered the same sandwich from two chains and compared them based on taste and value.
- I ordered a turkey sandwich with the same toppings from Subway and Potbelly Sandwich Shop.
- The Subway sandwich was larger and had more sauce, but I liked Potbelly’s bread more.
Nothing hits the spot quite like a classic turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and all the fixings.
However, not all turkey sandwiches are created equal. To determine which chain has the best turkey sandwich, I decided to test them from two popular brands: Subway and Potbelly Sandwich Shop.
Founded in 1965, Subway long held the title of the largest fast-food chain in the world, although it’s now second to McDonald’s, Food & Wine reported. Still, there are more than 20,000 Subway locations in the US compared to Potbelly’s more than 400 locations.
I tried both chains’ classic turkey sandwiches on their own and also determined what it would cost to get each sandwich with a drink and a bag of chips to round out the meal.
Here’s how the same turkey sandwich from Subway and Potbelly Sandwich Shop measured up.
