When you’re craving a hearty sandwich experience, Subway stands out as a top pick. Fans who’ve trusted Subway for years probably recall how great the $5 footlong deal once was. For a mere five dollars, you could snag a massive sandwich that felt like two meals in one. Those days were nice before inflation started pushing prices higher across the board. Yet Subway remains a reliable destination for sandwich lovers, which is why it continues to hold a special place for us.
But, unexpectedly, Subway has introduced a item that’s far from a traditional sandwich (gasp), and it’s available only until October 26th. You can order not one, not two, but three distinct takes on hot honey nachos. Are you bursting with excitement yet? You should be. These nachos are incredibly impressive, and honestly, they outshine the sandwiches themselves. So sprint (don’t stroll) to your nearest Subway and see for yourself why these nachos are receiving our praise.
These Nachos Are “Swicy” Done Right
Let’s begin with the chip base, which does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of flavor here. Subway doesn’t rely on plain tortilla chips. That would be dull by a wide margin. Nacho cheese Doritos serve as the backbone, which is a clever move. Doritos aren’t commonly used for nachos, and after taking a bite, you’ll wonder why. A chip with seasoned flavor feels so obvious in hindsight, and with Subway’s approach, others should consider borrowing the idea.
Now the toppings join in, working together without a hitch. A mound of Monterey cheddar cheese sits atop, accompanied by a mix of veggies like red onion, jalapeño, and tomato (you can add more if you want), plus a generous drizzle of that sweet-spicy hot honey sauce to unite the whole platter into one delicious union. The jalapeños deliver an extra kick of heat if the hot honey doesn’t quite reach your preferred level, and the gooey Monterey cheddar adds creaminess to every chip. Naturally, the hot honey remains the standout, so delicious you may be tempted to ask for a cup to take home (try to resist). It effortlessly balances sweetness and heat, coating each chip in its gloss. Also note that you have the option to add extra cheese, chicken, or steak to the nachos, and all three choices are equally tasty.
A Welcome Change From Sandwiches
Whoever conceived this idea during Subway’s marketing session deserves a hefty raise. These nachos offer a fantastic departure from the usual subs, and they whet our appetite for more culinary surprises Subway may roll out in the future. Three cheers for hot honey!
