MY GOD! I thought I was the only person who thought this.

Every time I went to that place (the one on 75), nobody was there eating except one or two sketchy dudes reading the paper or watching TV, and they never had food. I'd only see one or two employees, but there would be 5 or 6 cars parked around back. Plus, there was some major unaccounted-for space in that building. What was the deal with the office you wouldn't see into? What was all the space behind the north wall used for? Didn't look like kitchen back there, and the bathrooms were unnaturally small.

Also, the place was always lit up with tons of TVs, lights, and that fountain out front, but they NEVER had business. How could it have survived so long without profit?


Be careful, I got a raw chicken sandwich at Miami Subs back in 1995. Didn't realize it until I had eaten about half. I vomited. Never went back.

For a good sub hit up Jersey Mike's on Greenville.


Well, I think he was an investor, not like a major player or anything like that. I think that JJ and several Cowboys from that era had invested in the company. I used to eat there during the early 90s when it first hit the scene.

I remember running into Tony Tolbert there one evening.

I see, would make sense. I remember seeing Barry Switzer there one evening as well (hey maybe he would like to be the next HC...nah)

Is this a thread about hiring the manager of Miami Subs for the HC job? Sounds good to me. I'm sure he will appreciate the raise from $5.85 an hour to $1.5MM.
