To Crumble or Not to Crumble…
that is the question. At least for today!
I call this the “Quizno’s Conundrum” as it was while watching my Quizno’s sandwich being created, I noticed that my Honey Bacon Club was made with a handful of crumbled bacon. How did I not know this before? I have been eating Quizno’s for over 10 years and it is almost ALWAYS the exact same sandwich – the Honey Bacon Club. Crumbled bacon?
Now I understand why you would use crumbled bacon. From a food service standpoint, I bet the crumbled bacon goes much further than strip bacon and it is easier to store and ship. Crumbled bacon allows for you get more “bacon flavor” across the entire sandwich…but does it really?
Does bacon crumbled – especially when it’s paired with ham, turkey, lettuce, tomato and their honey french dressing – even stand out at all. You don’t see strips extending from your sandwich, you can’t really smell it, there’s nothing crisp in your bite, no audible crunch. Does the bacon even exist if you can’t experience it with any of your senses?
Hmmmmmmm?!?
Now, I will continue eating at Quizno’s (I do like the oven roasting, there is one right by my office and the sandwiches are now pretty cheap) but I am really torn over this use/misuse of bacon. Might be time to switch to an Italian…
