Taste Test: Domino's Submarine Sandwiches

partysugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:15:57 -0700

Last week YumSugar and I got our hands on Domino's recently released hot submarine sandwiches. The sandwiches, which come in four flavors - chicken bacon ranch, Philly cheese steak, Italian, and chicken parm - filled our office with a delicious smell of fresh-baked bread. Each sandwich comes in a neat box that effectively retains the heat. To find out how the sandwiches tasted, read more.

The sandwiches tasted strangely like Domino's pizza. With its chewy, soft texture, the "artisan Italian bread" tastes like their pizza dough.

Philly Cheese Steak: This was my least favorite of the sandwiches. The meat was bland and the veggies soggy. The sandwich lacked flavor.

Chicken Parm: The tomato-basil marinara sauce tasted like Domino's regular pizza sauce, making this sandwich, with its chicken and two types of cheese, seem like a pizza roll.

Italian: Loaded with pepperoni, salami, ham, and peppers, this was my favorite. It tasted like a slice of Italian pizza.

Chicken bacon ranch: The combination of bacon and chicken paired perfectly, making this sandwich my second favorite. However, I couldn't taste the ranch and wondered if the person who made the sandwich forgot to include it.

Overall, I don't think I would go out of my way to eat these sandwiches. They were greasy, with too much dough and not enough filling, and afterward I felt a little gross. However, if you like Domino's pizza, you'll like the sandwiches. They're also great if you're in the mood for pizza but don't want to order an entire pie to yourself. The individual portions can easily be consumed at a desk or workplace.

Have you tried Domino's sandwiches? What did you think?

Domino's Baked Sandwiches Burn Subway

partysugar — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:15:52 -0800

Advertising campaigns in which one company slams a competitor are nothing new: There's the coffee war between Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, and the burger battle of McDonald's versus Burger King. The latest companies to publicly duke it out? Domino's Pizza and Subway. According to a taste test conducted and promoted by Domino's, consumers prefer their baked sandwiches over Subway's sandwiches by a two-to-one ratio. Subway quickly responded to the claims by sending Domino's a letter telling the pizza chain to stop airing the commercials. Then last week on national television, Domino's president David Brandon burned the letter. Subway has yet to comment on Domino's aggressive advertisement, and a lawsuit is likely.

After tasting Domino's baked sandwiches, I find it hard to believe they could beat out Subway's sandwiches in a blind taste test. I also think the behavior in the video is childish and immature. Burning a letter? It doesn't necessarily make me want to run to the nearest Domino's for a sandwich. Watch the video below and tell me what you think. Whose sandwiches do you prefer?

Domino's Pizza To Do Sandwiches

Last week Jack in the Box expanded their breakfast menu to include brunch bowls, and this week Domino's Pizza has announced plans to introduce submarine sandwiches. The pizza delivery chain will offer four different kinds of baked sandwiches, including a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich and a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The $4.99 sandwiches will be delivered with or without a pizza order.With the sandwiches, which are available to order beginning on Aug. 25, Domino's hopes to increase lunch sales. Last Spring, Pizza Hut added pasta to their menu, so it's no surprise that Domino's is looking for other ways to grow profits. What do you think about the expansion? Will you try Domino's sandwiches?

Would You Eat This Taiwanese Fried Bread Sandwich?

YumSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:00:28 -0700

Earlier this week, a new study found that different generations have distinct ideas of foods they consider to be comforting. The same goes for various cultures. In Taiwan, this fried-bread-on-fried-bread sandwich, known as sao bing you tiao, isn't just a popular breakfast item - it's also considered the ultimate in comfort food. You tiao (literally, "oil sticks" which resemble long, savory doughnuts) are sandwiched between sao bing, a flaky, sesame seed flatbread. Together, the two make a craveworthy, if greasy sandwich with a carb content that rivals Domino's Bread Bowl Pastas. In Taiwan, they're favored with a great, big warm bowl of Chinese soymilk. Would you try one?

The president of Domino's Pizza, Patrick Doyle, has released a video where he apologizes for the disgusting behavior of two Domino's employees.

Earlier this week, a YouTube video was uncovered of a male and female performing unsanitary acts while making sandwiches at a North Carolina outpost of the pizza chain. Although the two employees were fired and charges are being pressed, Doyle hopes to reassure consumers of Domino's commitment to sanitary practices.

Check out his apology below and tell me: What's your take of the situation? Do you expect a large company, like Domino's, to apologize for the actions of two workers?
