Hack the Dash: How to Craft Your Dream Subway Masterpiece (Without Actually Stepping Foot in Subway)
Ah, the allure of the Subway sandwich. Freshly baked bread (jury's out on that one), a seemingly endless array of toppings, and the delightful dance with the sandwich artist who piles on the mayo with the enthusiasm of a Jackson Pollock impersonator. But let's face it, sometimes the craving hits when venturing out feels like scaling Mount Everest in flip-flops. Fear not, fellow sandwich enthusiasts, for I present to you: The Art of the Doordash DIY Subway.
Step 1: The Foundation (And by Foundation, We Mean Bread, Not Existential Dread)
Hold the phone, you cry. Subway on Doordash doesn't have a "build your own" option! That's where the fun begins, my friends. We get to think outside the (bread) box. Here's your cheat sheet:
- Italian White: This is your classic sub roll. Order a "double meat Italian BMT" and hold all the meats and veggies.
- Hearty Italian: Feeling adventurous? This option is a great base for a meatball marinara masterpiece. Order a "Meatball Marinara" and sub the marinara for whatever sauce tickles your fancy (because apparently, you can't just order a side of marinara sauce on Doordash. Conspiracy theories welcome in the comments below).
- Flatbread: Craving a lighter option? Grab a Veggie Delite and ditch the veggies (because who even orders a Veggie Delite at Subway?).
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? Order a salad and a baguette on the side. Boom! Instant DIY flatbread situation.
Step 2: Tossing and Turning (Not Literally, Though That Sounds Fun Too)
Now for the good stuff: the toppings. Here's where you unleash your inner sandwich maestro.
- Veggies: Order a veggie delight and hold all the... oh wait, we already covered that. Just sub out the things you don't want and add a little note in the instructions like, "Hey Sandwich Artist Supreme, pile on the cucumbers like I'm Cleopatra and these are emeralds!"
- Cheese: This one's a bit tricky. You can try adding cheese to a different sandwich and then requesting they hold the original cheese, but that might send the Doordash delivery gods into a fit of confusion. Maybe stick to the cheese that comes with the sandwich you choose as your base.
Meat: Here's where it gets interesting. Technically, you can't add extra meat on the Doordash app. But fear not, my carnivorous comrades! You can always add a note like, "Hey Sandwich MVP, if you accidentally drop a few slices of pepperoni on my sandwich, I won't tell a soul. Wink wink." No guarantees, but hey, a dash of daring never hurt anyone (except maybe that health inspector who saw that mayo avalanche earlier).
Step 3: The Grand Finale (Condiment Chaos Optional)
Sauces are the lifeblood of any good sandwich, and Subway offers a symphony of them. Here's the thing: you can add extra sauces in the instructions section. But with great power comes great responsibility. Don't go overboard and turn your masterpiece into a soggy mess. A simple "go light on the mayo, heavy on the chipotle southwest" should do the trick.
Remember: These are just suggestions, my friends. Get creative! Think outside the app! Who knows, maybe you'll invent the next viral sandwich sensation. Just be sure to document your journey on social media using #DoordashDIY and tag me so I can shower you with virtual high fives (and maybe some drool emojis, because let's be honest, these creations will be epic).
So there you have it, folks. The power to craft your dream Subway sandwich from the comfort of your couch. Now go forth, conquer your cravings, and remember: On Doordash, even your sandwich dreams can come true (with a little creativity and maybe a wink to the delivery gods).
