For the past few weeks, I have settled into a routine of becoming severely inebriated and ordering a cheeseburger sub (with ketchup, mayo, lettuce--the simplest yet most tasty of combo's) from Cleveland Circle's own Pino's Pizza. Every time I go down to pick up my toasty goodness, there is always one particular menu item that catches my eye...the cheese sub.
Now a cheese sub sounds relatively harmless, but there is an underlying problem which turns my world upside down. The sub is priced $.50 more than a cheeseburger sub. For an additional $.50 I lose two hamburger patties. How could this possibly be? What warrants an extra $.50 for a cheese sub?
I am really curious about this. What could possibly command a $.50 premium for the loss of two patties? I must be missing something. Perhaps it is the rarest of cheeses only reserved for cheese subs. Maybe there are multiple cheeses which combine to form a title wave of melted flavor. What could this cheese sub possibly be?
I mean, I could order a cheese sub, but what if it is nothing more than a sub roll and 1 type of cheese. My night would be ruined. The though of myself paying $.50 more for a severely crippled sub is terrifying! I might as well just order a cheeseburger sub and tell them to hold the patties! At least that way I save $.50.
I could also just ask someone what is on there, but then I risk a price increase on the cheeseburger sub--a dietary staple of mine. The cheeseburger sub is the cheapest of all subs (at $5 for a small) and because of this, i am able to afford multiple subs per week.
Perhaps the cheese sub is actually an awesome sub with great flavor and ass loads of cheese. I am just not prepared for the consequences of an inferior sub. Some day I will order a cheese sub, but for now, the cheese sub will remain a true enigma to me.
