6 A Day in the Life of Zach Calkins, Quiznos Innovator
Zach Calkins is Senior Vice President of Culinary Innovation at sandwich chain Quiznos, where he tracks food trends and develops new products for the sandwich market. Here's what he did on Monday, July 18. 6:30 a.m.: I got up, made a latte, and let Hazy, my labrador, out. I started thinking about the day, what I had to get done. I fed Hazy, and was out the door by 7:30, heading downtown to the Read more
First there was the Lobster & Seafood Chopped Salad Sub at Quiznos. Then came Taco Bell's Pacific Shrimp, and now Wendy's has its own version of a fish fillet sandwich. Three's a trend, and we've officially called it for seafood in fast food and fast-casual establishments. Seafood's never been as popular the in world of fast food as, say, a burger or fried chicken items. Presumably, this is Read more
After spending quite some time trying out Quiznos's core menu a few months ago, I'd learned a thing or two about the Denver-based company and how it thinks outside the bun in its attempt to bring the latest sandwich trends to market. So I wasn't at all surprised to spot a bevy of brand-new submarines on the Quiznos menu, ranging from healthy to hearty. Here at Sugar headquarters, we got a chance Read more
How does a nationwide sandwich chain like Quiznos distinguish itself from competitors such as Subway? Well, one way is to throw a five-course pairing dinner with local beers.

But it was Read more

What is it with rats as mascots for restaurant/fast food chains? At least this Quiznos rat is vaguely cute, in a creepy way. The Chuck E. Cheese rat is just creepy. Also, "Mmm, toasty" is a fantastic tagline. Makes me want to run to the kitchen and toast something, anything. Read more
Jack in the Box really wants your support: The fast-food chain's latest campaign features its fictitious CEO "Jack Box" comatose after being struck by a bus. Last week, it asked fans to "show support for Jack" with a coupon for free curly fries. Now, it's asking diners to do the same with a coupon for two free tacos, good today only. To score two free tacos, simply bring in this coupon. Possibly Read more
When it comes to eating a sammie, where should you go? Subway and Quiznos seem like they are equal footing in popularity, but what about calories? Take this quiz and see if your palate agrees with your desire to cut calories. Take the Quiz Read more
I've had plenty of Cuban sandwiches in my lifetime, made by everyone from local San Francisco cafés to national chains like Quiznos. But until last week, I'd never had an authentic Cubano sandwich as it's served at a typical lonchería in Miami. What makes a real Cuban sandwich? Why, it's not just the slow-cooked pork, but also the bread. An authentic version of a storied sandwich is made from Read more
The economic recession may not sound like the best time for burgeoning enterprises to expand, but a few restaurant chains actually expanded a shocking amount in the year 2010. Among them? In-N-Out competitor Five Guys, BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse, known for, among other things, its decadent Pizookie cookie; Jimmy John's, which is stacking up to be a fine competitor to Quiznos and Subway; and Read more
