US vs Australia Subway | Food Wars | Insider Food

[@Pertster1]

Australia has Italian herbs in cheese. We have a saying down here, "why would you ask what bread I want, of course it's Italian herbs

[@flynnh99]

true. my local one has 6 different bread types and wraps. i can’t list them all off the top of my head but there’s at least 5

[@LGBTowo]

My local in Melbourne also has foundation drinks

[@LGBTowo]

My local in Melbourne also has foundation drinks

[@azeD8035]

My local subway in NSW has a fountain drink refill too. I got a large cup of red Fanta that’s almost 1 litre cup (32oz) with my chicken classic meal.

[@Sweetwaterdream]

I dont think I know of anyone that orders the malted rye...

[@nighthawk8412]

Joe put the War in Food Wars. It was fun watching him say something like "Take that (insert country name)!" We need that sort of banter back on Food Wars videos.

[@kierenmoore3236]

Fight! Fight! Fight!! 😀

[@alimfuzzy]

Don't know what's with the Australian one, they missed a while bunch of bread types and standard sandwiches.

[@azeD8035]

She also missed the drinks too. We literally have cups ranging from small, medium to large for the refill fountain. I literally went to my local subway and got a large cup of red fanta with my meal. Not sure why they excluded that.

[@drywaller420]

There are more types in the u.s. as well. You can also get a bunch of different bottled drinks as well.

[@azeD8035]

@@drywaller420 yeah same. There was a few I saw that she missed with the bottled drinks liked Diet Coke and other drinks. Here in my state, you can get 600ml bottle of dairy farmers chocolate milk, strawberry milk, vanilla malt as well as a few different versions Dare iced coffee

[@lamingtonqueen]

Yeah, I work at a really busy Subway and Italian Herbs and Cheese is like, half of our bread bake every day. You can also get large wraps in white, the pepper schnitzel she listed is only for some states (SA had BBQ Pork Belly and I think there was a third one, maybe beef brisket?), the quesadilla was made wrong (it has mozzarella cheese, southwest sauce, onions, capiscum and, if you like, jalapenos), the classic and schnitzel taste different (one is seasoned flour, the other is plain bread crumbs), old people and tradies eat the seafood, and there are other catering options than the one she listed (a favourites style - both that and the classic style come in wraps as well - and you can get a gluten free platter). Also, with the drinks, the franchisee selects them (with guidelines) and there is a limit to how many kinds of drinks you can have in your fridge (so can't stock them all). That's why there are variations in things like the coke or iced tea flavours. Also, South Australia sells Farmers Union Iced Coffee instead of Dare. Also, some stores have the post-mix drinks and some don't. Mine doesn't, but they are commonly available. Bleurgh, I feel like I'm defending Subway here, but there was just so much random non- or mis-information. Anecdotally, I assume it's because she's in Sydney? All the workers that come here from there (all different stores and owners) are really under trained and might as well be brand new haha

[@Mammutidae]

​@@lamingtonqueenshe's in Melbourne. Plus I in Brisbane always get Italian Herbs and Cheese bread. It's absolutely clown level production.

[@tctt185_dg]

Bye the way. We do indeed have Italian Herb & Cheese Bread at Subway in Australia. I don't know what Subway she went to. I live in Tasmania and we do have it in Subway. It is my favorite out of the different Subway breads. My favorite sub is the Meatball Melt... I also like the Seafood Sensation. Don't hate me in that one, we have our own different tastes.

[@brad407]

We also have a pizza sub and buffalo chicken sub too I got very confused how they're exclusives to the US if Aus has them as well

[@AcadiaLee]

and a honey oat in victoria

[@rheel6747]

Yup, fellow Seafood Sensation aficionado here

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

I would have thought the White Chocolate & Macadamia cookie to be an Australian exclusive- it's the only cookie I get...

[@iren380]

I AGREEEE sub’s white chocolate macadamia cookie is PHENOMENALLLLL and I love the fact that we can get cookiez once we fill out their evaluation form 🎉

[@penguinbrony2415]

For the Buffalo Chicken sub, we use Franks Red Hot sauce. The BMT and Spicy Italian also are now exclusively on the Subway Series menu, only difference being double cheese. Also, you can customize what is on your Subway Series subs as well.

[@Mullet345]

I remember that we had the cups for drinks not that many years ago here in Australia. I would always get a large cup whenever I got a drink alongside my subway order.

[@azeD8035]

We still do have the fountain drink in Australia with refills. I literally went there yesterday and got a large cup of red Fanta and the size was a 32oz cup.

[@bohemelavie1]

We still do! This video missed a bunch of stuff available in Australia.

[@azeD8035]

@@bohemelavie1 what I thought was weird was how the American version included Italian herbs and cheese like as if that’s exclusive to the US only. I literally ordered that bread yesterday with my chicken classic sub.

[@michaelmarche7641]

They're comparing subway and they're both wearing green! Nice!

[@DrLilo]

As a non-American, I wonder if the main reason ranch never takes off outside of the US is the name. Like, what does "ranch" even mean? Basically every takeaway in the UK does a "garlic mayo dip", which is honestly just ranch, under a more discriptive name.

[@TheOriginalArchie]

I'm curious, does garlic mayo dip actually taste like "ranch" dressing, or is it different? Maybe you have never had ranch, I'm unsure obviously I live in the states and I despise ranch for the most part (other than maybe a salad dressing, which is what it was made for). I'm biased because I grew up in New York and we like bleu cheese, although I know a lot of people that love ranch. Btw, it's only called "ranch" because the creator was a plumber that bought a ranch and made called the dressing ranch. 😁

[@dbreazerify]

Unless that garlic mayo has buttermilk, parsley, dill, and thyme in it it’s not at all like ranch dressing.

[@SlytherinReviews]

we do have Diet Coke in Australia, some Subway stores do offer it in Australia it's just not a main drink offering unlike how it is a Macca's or Hungry Jack's.

[@Ashley_Boasso]

You forgot about the honey mustard sauce that Subway has here in the states it’s my favorite sauce to get on my sandwich

[@themoviedealers]

Buffalo chicken sauce is basically hot sauce mixed with butter, maybe a little salt and pepper. Ranch is buttermilk and onion dressing.

[@jacksonmacmanus1001]

we need Australia vs UK next

[@Mammutidae]

So I barely barely ever leave dislikes on YT videos: but this seems so incredibly rushed and badly researched. If I'm not alone in my opinion: the people looking at analytics will probably think "oh it's two women in the video it's misogynists and/or Joe fanatics. “ Britt has become my new favourite FW host, she encapsulates the modern Aussie pretty perfectly. You guys are just skimping on research, writing, and editing.

[@madswansfan1]

For Aussie subway, here in Vic the ones I go to have the fountain soft drink dispenser. We also have more than 3 types of bread. I don’t know them all but I eat the Italian sub. I swap the ranch sauce for Mayo.

[@SnowWolfAlpha]

So the raspberry cheesecake cookie isn't a Australian exclusive then?

[@iren380]

OMG THIS COOKIE IS BOOOOMB AS WELL I LOVE IT

[@jaredbuchanan5650]

V is from new Zealand. Same cultural thing with lemon line and bitters in NZ to :)

[@EatDaRich]

When the restaurant started in my town I was starting staff. We had a ton of bread options, and the seafood sandwich...which was gross to mix. We had soups, cookies, and we made lots of salads. TBH the only thing I honestly miss is honey oat bread.

[@Djnosey97]

Surely Americans know what bitters is? It’s used in a lot of classic cocktails like an old fashioned. Also Bitters is actually highly alcoholic at nearly 50% alcohol but the amount used in the drink lemon lime and bitters is such a small amount that the drink is considered non-alcoholic and can be served to a minor

[@audoinxr6372]

Aus subways are different state to state. And franchise owner to owner. Like my local is owned by OTR chain. Its $17 for a large meal BMT with beetroot. But that same order at a private store is $19 and a smaller bottled drink. In Tas is was $15 and a smaller bottle. Qld had pineapple as an option.

[@hawkatsea]

Best value for subway is ordering online with promo codes then showing up on time/slightly early and gently intimidating the "sandwich artist" into packing on more spinach and olives (etc) thand they should until it looks like a decent bite.

[@ZootZinBootZ]

Bring back honey oat bread 😢😢😢😂😂

[@QNEGRO1]

The Australian woman describing lemon lime drink is us like here in Italy as a kid trying to drink as much lemon sorbetto or lemon flavor ice cream to get an alcohol buzz😂❤

[@jkfdkjjd]

*V is a New Zealand energy drink

[@KuroRyuu86]

Really? I actually didn't know that.

[@bafalconbafalcon3184]

Frucor is a Japanese-owned beverage company operating in Australasia, and headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. The company is known for its V energy drink launched in 1997, which is sold across the world including Europe, South Africa and Argentina.

[@jkfdkjjd]

Watch "Back of the Y masterpiece television" V sponsored a bunch of off the wall NZ comedy stuff in the late 90's ;D

[@makinmagicgal]

We have Italian herbs and cheese bread here.

[@hawkatsea]

Definitely wish beetroot was an option in the US! Especially pickled, it's so underrated as a topping and is amazing on sandwiches and burgers.

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@Supermikes]

First here to enjoy another great Food Wars video!!

[@user-ys3mx6jy3c]

We used to have the seafood sensation in Canada years ago. It quietly went away.

[@59771006]

We definitely have Italian herbs and cheese bread here in Australia I know this because whenever I get Subway I always get Italian herbs and cheese it’s literally the only bread I choose

[@TonyDwKhayehh]

Idk who told her Australia doesn’t have Italian herb and cheese lmao we’ve got like 5 breads we have white as well.

[@Sevensliders]

Finally, another video! 🎉

[@hardrockincanuck1]

I wish she would have covered the Subway Series a bit more. With ~1000 stores in Aus, it's odd that you don't have it there. We have the Subway Series in Canada but it's considerably different than in the US.

[@rellicproduction]

As a us subway employee so many things confused me here, breakfast can be on normal bread not just wraps and flatbread, creamy Sriracha is new, but they don't have the new subs that go with it, and the tortillas are gone, in the US we don't sell individual ingredients or bread like Australia, and I've never seen someone put sauce in Soup cup before, and marina sauce and two big ones honey mustard and subway Vinaigrette which you had on a sandwich but not in sauce section

[@MsEmmaloserface]

In australia we have italian herb and cheese... We also have fountain drinks at most but not all stores At least in adelaide. I havent been to interstate stores...

[@MsEmmaloserface]

We also have wholemeal Bread and multi grain I think

[@davidjones535]

I like these two together they make a nice change of pace with no whining.

[@vanessagoddess1]

I find the vocal fry hard on the ears

[@DustoMan]

I miss the Seafood Sensation. All the Subways where I live stopped having that as an option. I still get craving for it. Lately my go to's are Pizza or the Boss. Recently they changed their meatballs and it's actually pretty good! I used to get craving for that and whenever I got the old meatball sub, I was disappointed because it tasted like sadness.

[@clarissathompson]

LOL! I don't think changing your name to "Subway" is so bad. In the early 00s I lived in a city where a guy entered a radio contest by changing his name to "Haywood Jablomi"! The official name change was in the newspaper classifieds and everything, lol!

[@sunshinegirl8216]

Multi Rye please yum!😊

[@bob2shred894]

I'm not sure what aussie subway you got your subs from but none of that looks anything like the one I go to.

[@jfwfreo]

I used to go to Subway here in Australia all the time but I stopped because the cost kept going up (and its no longer the value proposition it used to be)

[@bleukreuz]

Australia also have the multigrain and italian herbs and cheese bread though The seafood senstaion has fake crab but then again it tastes okay and it is one of the cheapest sub in the menu so you can't complain, I actually prefer the seafood to the veggie patty which just horrible and tasteless Old English cheese is my go to for all my subs as it has the strongest cheese taste! (Sometimes I also added blue cheese dressing on top) That chipotle quesadilla needs Jesus

[@NeatNeat121]

Is sweet onion chicken teriyaki still a thing in Australia? Used to be my go-to. Or the meatballs.

[@sarahmoss4341]

Yes they have missed half the subs from Australia

[@sarahmoss4341]

They are missing half the subs we have in Australia

How could you do the bread section for Australia and forget Italian herbs and cheese? (Aka the only correct bread choice)

WHAT??? Australia has the Seafood Sensation???? Called the Seafood 'n' Crab in the 90s this was my ALL TIME FAVORITE and I want it back in the US so much!

[@thegreaterbilby2171]

Does Subway Australia still offer the meatball sub?

[@anakinsmith4770]

I think the main difference is you can eat the australian version. V is actually a new zealand energy drink mother is the aussie one

[@solreaver83]

the 6 foot is 6 footlongs joined together with the ends cut off to look like it was one big one. in Australia that is. you missed australia also has italian herb and cheese. i wish we still used the american philly steak instead of the chunky steak.

[@ronsandgren1]

I live in the U.S. and I get coupons from Subway in the mail every month so I eat there about two times a week with my gf and it usually only costs around 13 dollars for both of us for lunch. That's if we share a footlong with fountain drinks or get two six inch meals with coupons. I wouldn't eat there paying the original prices.

[@christopherhill1445]

I stopped watching at "Australia has 3 types of bread". The Subway website shows more than this. Also some Australian stores have fountain drinks too.

[@wompwomp768]

We got Italian herbs and cheese in Au too?

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

The collab for the pretzel and churro are because they were bought out by the company that owns Arby’s and auntie Anne’s and a lot of other places.

[@ivan_krazy]

Firstly, Australia has Italian herbs and cheese bread and secondly subway do have self serve drink cups too, thirdly we have chicken teriyaki filling which is absolutely my fave! The video is not entirely correct.

[@Dugie555]

Subway is Subway, it’s not the best, but it’s alright if you want something on the lighter side. My usual Subway has a ton of ingredients. Always interesting to hear the stories of big companies.🥖 👏 😋

[@andiesgmail4295]

is the aussie girl jemma dalitz from wicked weasel?

[@protector22222]

It's not really a collab. Subway is now owned by the same company that owns both cinnabon and auntie Anne's. So it's basically just bringing products from their other brands over not a collaboration. A collaboration would be too completely different companies agreeing to share product. This is the same company and they have access to the products that are sold by all their brands

[@hazridge]

Wait, when did Subway stop doing fountain drinks in Australia?

[@Mullet345]

I think it was either 2021 or 2022.

[@azeD8035]

Well they didn’t seeing as I literally went there yesterday and they still had the drink fountain when I got my meal. Got a large cup of red Fanta with refill for $3.75

[@bohemelavie1]

They didn't. Both of my local subways still have fountains. They missed a bunch of stuff available in Australia in this video

[@audoinxr6372]

State to state is different. In SA, the private franchises tend to have bottles only. OTR tend to have post mix.

[@Mullet345]

I'm from Brisbane and I'm sure that all of the subways close to where I live no longer have the cups and drinks fountain.

ah, I remember those golden days when one could indulge in non-cheesy "healthy" SunChips at Subway (when the walls were plastered with newspaper, too). I remember when they switched only to cheddar sunchips. There was an outcry, and it was suffocated by cheesy dust. After that, "sides" culture devolved until the footlong cookie was born. Armageddon is nigh, I suppose.

None of the Subways near me make the Series sandwiches as listed on the menu. They still ask how you want to customize like they always have. And I don’t think I’ve gotten double cheese as some say they come with. My go-tos are the Meatball Marinara or the Italian BMT. Most of the time I go there planning to get something else, I end up leaving with a footlong meatball, though. :-)

[@JimWhitaker]

The gallon (US gallon, so short measure by UK standards) drink container exemplifies everything that is wrong with "fountain" drinks. They are flat. Also an excuse for short measure when half a cup of ice is dumped in first.

[@ButterfatFarms]

Subway soda fountains in America are self-serve, they just hand you the cup. How much if any ice you put in the cup, as well as which fountain drink or mix of Fountain drinks you fill it up with is entirely up to you.

[@ButterfatFarms]

And if the fountain drinks are flat that's the restaurants failing. Soda fountains need to be calibrated to the correct brix ratio of water to syrup and properly carbonating the water with CO2. A properly set up soda fountain should not dispense flat drinks.

[@brendandever8532]

I’ve never had a flat fountain drink in my entire life. I have no idea what you’re going on about.

[@sarahedwards2]
