True enough, there are a few spicy sandwiches available that many of us tend to just make at home. This is because a spicy sandwich is hard to achieve with all the filling and flavor explosion from the inside. Now, you don’t have to worry, as your sandwich can both be tasty and spicy with Subway’s new sandwiches to save the day.

Subway has proven to be the best sandwich chain in the world by providing fans with a variety of sandwiches made for each guest’s preference. This sandwich shop takes pride in their motto, which is “Fresh is what we do.” They’re the place to be when looking for freshly made, convenient, and on-the-go finds. 

As one of the world’s largest chains, Subway has built a craveable menu for all of us, starting with new sandwiches on the menu. And now, they’re back at it again with new introductions of the following:

  • Ghost Pepper Bread – Halloween special but make it spicy. This sandwich features ghost peppers, paprika, and jalaepeño peppers to turn the heat on. It also has a Monterrey cheddar cheese for extra taste and texture.

  • Fiery Meatball – Now, if you’re looking for a spicy but, at the same time, meaty, then you’re in for a treat with the new Fiery Meatball subs! It’s got pepperoni and meatballs, all smothered in sriracha and parmesan for that extra flavor. 
  • Spicy Nacho Steak –  change the rotisserie chicken to steak, and there you have it: a Spicy Nacho Steak! It is served in Ghost Pepper Bread along with the usuals of sriracha sauce and SubKrunch, among others. 

I know you’re excited to get a taste of Subway’s new Ghost Pepper Bread, but they are estimated to hit menus on October 1, 2024. This news comes along with a new cookie dessert called Double Chocolate Peppermint to drop by on November 1, 2024. Now that’s a treat worth waiting for!

Get To Know Subway’s Roots and Growth 

Like any other sandwich shop or top food chain, Subway also has a rich history of how it started out and found success in the food industry. We can trace this around 1965 when 17-year-old Fred DeLuca asked their family friend Dr. Peter Buck, a nuclear physicist, an advice on how he could pay his own tuition for college. It was then that DeLuca formed an idea to open a submarine sandwich shop and received initial assistance of a $1,000 investment from Dr. Buck.

Together as business partners, they opened their first sandwich shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where they serve freshly made, customized, and affordable sandwiches for local guests who happen to be around. 

Not only that, DeLuca and Dr. Buck had a vision of making their brand bigger, and they made that happen in 1974 when they had 16 submarine sandwich shops around Connecticut. But to reach even more customers, they ventured into a franchising business model, which launched the sandwich shop that we know and love. But in growing your business, it is important to note the guiding principles that they have. 

Quality Food Made For All

For instance, Subway chose to follow the following guiding principles and concepts that Subway employees still use now :

  • Providing exceptional service to their valued guests.
  • High-quality and flavorful food menu options kept at a value
  • Never stop evolving 

Through this set of principles, Subway has grown to become one of the world’s largest restaurant brands, serving over 100 counties and more than 37,000 restaurants. 20,000 are owned by their franchisees, who are committed to delivering the best guest experience in their local communities. 

Future of Subway, you ask? Well, they are constantly growing by adding new additional food items and add ons to their menu as well as improvements in their digital orders for a seamless and better guest experience. 

What’s New At Subway?

Since we’re at it, Subway is continuously crafting something new in their kitchens, may it be a new add on to elevate the sandwich experience or a new irresistible menu item. With Subway, you could never go wrong! This 2024 proved that the sandwich chain is innovating more with the following new menu rollouts to check out!

Signature Subs

  • Honey Mustard BBQ Chicken – A rotisserie-style chicken combined with Honey Mustard sauce for a sweet and smokey taste. It also includes your usual sandwich greens and, of course, cheese.

From The Club

Subway has been my ultimate go-to when I’m craving either a savory sandwich or a simple breakfast tortilla wrap. I don’t know how a single sandwich or wrap can bring comfort. It’s a good thing that Subway is about to release their Ghost Pepper bread to match the new sandwich offering. I’m eyeing the Spicy Nacho Steak sandwiched in Ghost Pepper bread. I can just imagine the combination of the seasoned steak with the spicy bread. 🤤 I hope Subway will release more of their special sandwich add-ons.
