'Pub Subs' Named Country's Best Sandwich: Thrillist

LAKELAND, FL - The Thrillist website has named the Publix sub the country's best sandwich. The article entitled “The Country’s Best Sandwiches Are Made By This Florida Grocery Chain” lauds the "Pub Subs" as one of the few things that everyone can agree on in Florida. The website credits fresh ingredients, describing the sandwiches as “high-quality and reliable.”

Here is how Thrillist described Florida's love for Pub Subs:

"There is one food item, however, that Florida does better than any other state: The grocery store sub. But not just any grocery store will do -- these sandwiches must be purchased from Publix, the beloved supermarket chain headquartered in the city of Lakeland. While a sub is a style of sandwich you can get pretty much anywhere in the world, Floridians love the Publix sub as much as their college football teams, Pitbull, and air conditioning during a particularly humid summer."

The website noted that Publix subs have their own Facebook fan page, and a nearly four-minute-long song created in its honor.
