Joko sure was raving about them Quiznos sandwiches a few months back, almost as much as he was raving about food in a bag for his nag.

I never had the 'food for a hag' ) BTW - I have nothing against Joko's wife. I am just making cheap jokes.), but those Quiznos sandwiches are double damn good!

Maybe he went back to burgers 24/7.

Anyone who wants great burgewrs should stop over at Cassells, the sensational burger and sandwich place on 6th.

Man, this is one gooooooooood place! I used to go there when I worked in that area years ago,

Casual dining and well worth the trip from most anywhere.

User comments about Cassell's Hamburgers:
"Cassell's was always the favorite of the attorneys' offices
on Wilshire, where it
was known for the best burgers (prime beef), sandwiches,
home-made potato
salad, relish, mayonnaise (how many places make
mayonnaise?), lemonade, and
buffet bar going. Absolutely the BEST!! But parking is
terrible, and the hours make
it tough. But worth it ALL." -- , 06/25/2001

I have been to Cassell's many times and several times I have seen John or John and Ken there.

I am a rather tall and usually (except weekends) well dressed black man. After they saw that I was a regular there and was not carrying a knife, they would nod 'hello' now and then, as would I.

One time, we were sitting next to each other at the small tables there, but at different tables. I had ordered an egg salad sandwich which was exceptionally good that day. When the busboy came by me, I halted him and gave him a ten dollar bill and instructed him to bring me another egg salad sandwich, 'to go'.

John looked at me and said, "That good, huh? But, ten dollars?"
I told him, "five dollars is for the sandwich, the other five is to not wait in line".

There was much laughter amonst us! Ahahah

Yuk. I don't like Quizno's. I would rather eat at Togo's.

I also don't like Systems Paving, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, teddy bears.com, Dr. Charles Manger, Master Serve plumbing, and striped T Shirts.

Some Quiznos are better than others, for some reason they closed the one in So. Pasadena down, which isn't far from where I work, citing something about the"health dept. inspection" as the reason!

I like Baja Fresh, their salsa's great, plus the food's on the healthier side.

Yep, your description matches, it was hot in there, and the employees were real firecrackers! They almost burnt the place down when I was in there last. This is the little hole in the wall on Fair Oaks, next door to a pizza place, don't know if it's your place but it does appear to be closed for good.

Due to the closure, we ended up at Wild Thyme when we last attempted to go, I think in this case, it was for the best.

I see the guy who wears the baseball cap quite frequently, the one who yells at cars too, part of the scenery I guess.

Wild Thyme has great Iced Tea too, just on the by and by, they had a "B" rating, well at least I couldn't see whatever it was that caused the down grade.

Don, use the Baja Fresh certificate, it's about the same as all others price wise, maybe slightly higher but well worth it. You'll have to wait a little longer, not too much though, because they do make it fresh. The one in So. Pas is the best that I've been to. I always get the grilled vegetarian burrito, most men I know won't try it cause it sounds too healthy and has no meat, but trust me, it's the best, and it's huge, I always eat half, and take the rest. There's a salsa bar, get the Baja house brand, the dark colored one, it's great! They have really good fajitas too if you gotta have that meat.

They'llanother Quiznos nearby, I'm sure, that's fast food row.

John and Ken can have all the disdain they want, I eat at a variety of places, some they've advertised, most they don't. So what? PF Cheng's is good too, I'm not going to stay away just because they don't talk about it anymore. Let them say what they will, I'll live.

Gotta try those Cassell Burgers.

I travel around a lot due to my job (yes I do have one -

) and have tried Quizno's several times in several locations - have to stay away from those 0.39 cheeseburgers.

Escondido, Costa Mesa, Van Nuys, Inland Empire locations all had tatted up weirdos behind the counter who were sullen and indifferent. No air conditioning in ANY location. Sandwiches were soggy and lifeless. Toasted bread had burnt plastic odor/taste. Meat slightly slimy.

Bring back the old neighborhood deli anytime!

Hi K,

Interesting that you mention several locations except the ones in your very own city of Irvine. Try the one in The Spectrum on Technology and I believe Alton Pkwy or the one on Sand Canyon and Irvine Center Drive. No tats, good food, good service and working a/c.

Hey Don,

Why do you think it's a woman? Just curious.

Yeah, I remember, the one who directs alot of unkind remarks at John's wife.

I agree, there's no point in responding, I'm sure whoever this is, isn't interested in reasonable conversation anyway.

Don,

Just read your post, was responding to Confused at the same time. Yes, now it makes sense, does seem to point toward some female characteristics. LOL, Hope it's not like the Glen Close character.
