Review: Jimmy John's Day Old Bread


The best.

Story: so I had a late lunch this afternoon, which is OK because I woke up late and everything. I was planning to go to work without any food, and I would eat during my break whatever I could find there. Only tonight was swamped. And when my break cam around, the line was so long that if I were to get anything it would have lasted the entire duration of my break. SO. I went hungry.

After work, though... I ran off to my favorite Jimmy John's in the world. Not that this Jimmy John's is better or different than any other Jimmy John's out there. The only thing is that I came in once near closing hours, and I got a loaf of bread and a soft drink for free. It was cool.

Anyway, tonight I bought TWO loaves of day old bread, and a soda, all for about $2.50. I was feeling kind of extravagant afterwards. So much so that I ignored the weird guy standing outside who may/may not have been homeless and may/may not have been wanting to ask me for stuff. I was feeling too good and selfish and such. Also, the guy seemed amazingly spaced out, so I was assuming any contact with him would lead him to follow me all the way home.

The loaves of bread are about $0.50 a piece. The bread is probably the best thing about Jimmy John's. All their sandwiches features a way too liberal amount of mayo, and mayo's not my favorite. I used to pretend to be a good consumer and actually buy an actual lunch, so I'd buy a Roast Beef Slim, which is just roast beef and bread... along with my purchase of the day old loaf. But no longer. Now I'm near broke, and I'm just going to get the bread.

And they are about 500 calories (according to a calorie website that I assume is legit and what not), so I can totally keep my slender frame and all that crap. So essentially there is no wrong with this bread. Perhaps all these years you have been looking for perfection, and you just never thought to look at Jimmy John's. Well, now that you have learned your mistakes, you must go, my boy. Jimmy John's longs for you.




(Note: Jimmy John's bread isn't THAT great. But it tastes pretty good, and it tastes pretty amazing when all you've had is a can of ravioli for lunch.)

  1. At the venerable eatery Jimmy Johns, you can eat sandwiches that you've never had before. Make sure you are familiar with Jimmy Johns Hours so you can organise your vacation appropriately. Before going, take a look at Jimmy Johns' opening and closing times because being early will benefit you. Learn about the Jimmy John's Holiday List, the location of the closest Jimmy John's, and other information.
