Subway

This place recently opened on Park Street opposite Pope Park and in front of the new plaza just after the I-​84 overpass when traveling East on Park Street. I stopped by just after it opened and I parked in the Plaza Parking Lot. If you do that you have to climb a couple of flights of stairs. You can also park on Park Street if you can find a spot. Anyway, I arrived and I wanted to try the Steak and Cheese special for $ 6. What bothered me was that all of the sliced up steaks were in paper containers without any covers on them. Who knows how long they were sitting there? In other Subway stores, they are covered by plastic so that people can’t breathe or sneeze on the food. The plastic container tops also keep the meat fresh. I didn’t notice covers on any of the ingredients. Dismissing this for the time, because I was hungry and there was a lot of snow on the ground, I picked my cheese, sause and the other veggies. The steak, cheese and roll went into the heater, when it was cut and wrapped I took it home. It tasted like dry gristle or paper. The steak was dried out and totally without flavor. All Subway stores are not equal, I guess. I know that they just opened and I should probably give them another chance, but why should I when there is a perfectly good Subway on the corner of Prospect and Boulevard on the West Hartford/​Hartford town line.
