Meridian, Idaho
We took a break from unpacking yesterday and had a great lunch at Firehouse Subs.
We first saw them in Phoenix, but we didn’t get a chance to eat them until we went out with friends last week here in the Boise area.
Their sandwiches are very unique because they make them differently than a standard sub shop:
We steam our meats and cheeses, releasing a rush of flavors, then stuff a serving that’s way over code on one of our toasted private-recipe sub rolls.
Steaming the meat infuses a moisture that brings out the flavors. The bread isn’t warm, but with a semi-hard crust and very tender inside, it’s a perfect way to bring out the best of the sandwich.
The shop is decorated in dalmatian prints and lots of pictures of fireman.
Started over 20 years ago by brothers Chris and Mark Sorensen, both former firefighters, Firehouse Subs now numbers over 850 shops with plans to reach 2000 by 2020.
If you see one near you, you might give it a try.
I’m glad we did. I loved the pictures of all the firemen hunks and the food is a treat to eat, too. 🙂
Will definitely try. All your recommendations always work out for us …… books, games, movies and restaurants!
Speaking of books, Lorraine, did you read “All the Light You Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr? He now lives in Boise and the book just won the Pulitzer.
I did get the ebook when we were traveling from the library but I never opened the book. I will buy it when Costco gets copies.
I think you will enjoy it, Lorraine. Happy reading!
