Firehouse Subs’ Large Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket

If you do not want to end up eating more than double the daily intake of salt you’re supposed to get just in one sandwich, you should definitely steer clear of this one.

It may not seem like the lean beef and cheese sandwich is going to do much damage, but with the amount of sodium it has and the fact that it is layered in BBQ sauce and copious amounts of mayo, it is one that you should definitely avoid.

Not to mention, when it comes in big sizes, your cardiovascular health is going to be in danger, especially if you have a habit of eating them.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this sandwich if you are trying to be careful about calories, sodium, or fat intake. If you happen to be at Firehouse Subs, you can opt for the medium Turkey Sub for a much healthier option!

  1. In my opinion, any sub with words like Gargantuan or Giant in the name is a red flag. A normal person could make two or three (more?) reasonably-sized sandwiches out of that behemoth.

  2. All the fast food places make their sandwiches too big. I love the Arby’s Ruben, but I can only eat half of it. Wake up fast food. Bigger is not better.

  3. Next time get a non Vegan or non Vegetarian to write this. I enjoy any of these sandwiches or subs but do not eat them every day. Anything in moderation.
