Subway: everywhere

Subway's offering is hidden in the "Regional Favorites" section of the menu under the name "Veggie-Max" (in the Seattle area at least- I think it was different in Boston). Ok, so it's less of a burger and more of a sub, but it's still deserving of a review. The Veggie-Max is a beige, six-inch by three-inch rectangular patty: not too appetizing a description, but don't let appearances fool you. It's a tasty mix of Textured Vegetable Protein, vegetables, and the occasional grain of rice. Water chestnuts add a little bit of crunch. I really can't think of a more descriptive word than "tasty": it gives a meaty texture and savory flavor to the weak Veggie Delight (vegetables and bread, cheese if you like it), and is more of a satisfying addition of the whole rather than a taste-sensation in it's own right. The Veggie-Max's strength is that it lets the best part of the Subway experience speak for itself: the multitude of veggies, breads, and sauces Subway offers, meaning almost infinite sandwich possibilities.
