BEST FAST FOOD ALTERNATIVE - Subway - By the look of the responses in this category, it seems our perceptive readers knew exactly what we were getting at. The favorite sandwich shop of that goofy Jared Fogle and his slavish, hefty disciples is also Spokane's favorite place to eat fast while skipping out on the lard. Though the line-up-and-tell-em-what-you'll-have ordering process (not to mention the typically austere decor) elicits flashbacks to high school cafeteria and the dreaded "Tuesday Surprise," the end product is a fresh, made-to-order sandwich tweaked to your exact specifications. Chips or a drink with that? Heh.
