Anyone ever been to Snarfburger?

There are two here, but the 3rd location is at 600 W. Chicago.

Snarf's is a sub shop here in Boulder and it's pretty damn good. Snarfburger is the new burger joint, though I've never been.

Edit: I see that Snarf's also had their sub shop in Chicago and fired all their employees by email 3 days before Christmas. So, yeah...this might not go over well.  Still, could be good.

There's a Snarf's next door to my office and while it's pretty good, it seemed to me to be a blatant ripoff of Potbelly's. Like, the exact same sandwiches and ingredients just with a different name.

The internet tells me that both opened their first location in 1996, not sure who was first.

Is the Snarf's where the Quizno's used to be? I literally walk by there everyday but never pay attention.

Here's one local Chicago guy write-up.

Based solely on the Italian Sandwich ($7.25 for 7"), I'll need to find some space. While no revelation, nor even in the same league as J.P. Graziano's, the mix of salami, pepperoni, capicola, and mortadella packs the requisite meaty wallop, while the very crisp hot peppers help cut through the fat. It easily bests Potbelly's own version.

...what really sets Snarf's apart from its fellow lunchtime staples in the Loop is the bread, which is both crusty and light. Again, it's nothing compared to the flawless rolls from D'Amato's Bakery, but it is a step up from the immediate competition.

I've only had Snarf's a few times and I'd put it basically on par with Potbelly, though I feel like they have more options at Snarf's.

Potbelly began expanding in 1996, opening their second location in 1997. The original Potbelly opened in 1977.

(Which isn't to say that a sub shop founded in Boulder in 1996 was obviously copying them.)

Yes. Understandable that you'd be distracted by the siren song of Authentic Chinese Slop at the Panda Express across the way.

It appears I have touched a nerve by not PAYING THE FUCK ATTENTION to RV's beloved Snarf's. Seriously though, just the smell of that Panada Express is enough to give me the trots.

Pretty sure the concept of meat on bread was around before 1996.

That concept continues with today's order of a sausage / MEATBALL combo sub with hot from Bari.
Hmmmm... messy sangwich.

And I'm not paying for it.

So that's why the other end of the car is always so crowded.

Loop Lunch Guide

I've been to about half of these places and can't disagree on the choice of any of them.
Pierogi Heaven was already on my list to try this week.

I expect reviews by all the usual morans.
I'm looking at you Hawk.

Pierogi Heaven is great, just know you will occasionally get a surprise - one vegetarian friend was less-than-thrilled when she got a meat pierogi.

I have nothing but love for Cafecito.

Finally got over to Pierogi Heaven
3 meat and spinach
3 potato and cheese
with fried onions and bacon and sour cream
and a side of grilled polish sausage.

It was excellent and validated by a bunch of the Polacks I work with.

Hot Doug's closing in October.

That is all.

Hot Doug's closing in October.

That is all.

Stuart, from Austin, has all the reasons why in the comments section. He clearly has Hot Doug's all figured out.
