Review of Jersey Mike's Subs

After hearing several Celiac influencers talk about the great GF protocol at Jersey Mike’s I nervously gave it a try for myself and my GF kiddo and was pleasantly surprised.

I specified that we both have a severe gluten allergy (the easiest way that I’ve found to communicate what Celiac is that is universally understood) and they immediately knew what I was talking about. They have decently sized Udi’s rolls that are packaged individually, a separate prep space, wear clean gloves, use clean knives, etc. The one warning I would give is making sure that they pull the meat, cheese AND toppings freshly from the fridge (they almost brought our clean GF sandwiches with fresh meat and cheese to the normal prep area area for contaminated lettuce and tomatoes, but I caught them in time and they got fresh from the back instead). Also, because the risk of cross-contact is so high, I would only go during non-peak times when they aren’t rushed and you can visibly see everything they are doing. As for the sandwiches themselves, they were really good. Like most GF bread the Udi’s was dry (not a big fan of Udi’s myself), but it was soft and didn’t fall apart right immediately. I would probably get a little extra oil and vinegar next time to help with the dryness though. To my knowledge there are only two subs that can’t be made GF (the meatball and chicken parm), otherwise there are so many options.

Most importantly, we did not get sick would definitely go back.
