Jersey Mike’s a sub-sational place!

Leigh Ivey, Editor-in-Chief

This month we, the restaurant reviewers, managed to find a new place in Cookeville, which, in case you didn’t know, isn’t a common occurrence.

The band of reviewers also greatly expanded. Along with Senka Hadzimuratovic and Emilee Chaffin came Ryan Goodman, Mike Ford, and Heather Glasgow. We decided to go to Jersey Mike’s, the new restaurant on Jefferson next to Kroger.

Jersey Mike’s is a somewhat small, ordinary restaurant, but the exceptional food makes Jersey Mike’s much more than ordinary.

Although at first glance the menu causes customers to think the place is much too expensive, but when they see the size of the subs, their minds are quickly changed.
The portions are gigantic, not to mention delicious.

Another unique thing about Jersey Mike’s is that the workers actually slice the meat while you wait, rather than it being pre-sliced. Brian Militana, who was eating when we arrived, offered, “It’s like...wow...the meat must be fresh because they cut it right in front of you!”

I ordered a turkey sandwich, and for some reason I couldn’t see what kind of cheese they had... Yet the sandwich was still the best I may have ever had. Emilee also got turkey, and Ryan got a meatball sub, commenting, “It was good.”

Mike ordered a Philly cheese steak sub, saying, “I agree. It was good.” (Mike and Ryan may not be invited to the next review because they were somewhat lacking in the comment department.)

Senka and Heather didn’t order sandwiches. Senka got cookies, and the only negative comment about the food came from her.

Apparently the cookies weren’t as good as the sandwiches or the chips, which received two thumbs up from Heather.

Jersey Mike’s received four stars, putting it in the highest category of dining establishments.

Oh, and by the way, if you’re unable to find the water on the soda fountain, it’s the little white button next to the tea...
