• The sub hits menus nationwide today for a limited time, bringing even more premium tastes to Quiznos' broad menu of soups, salads and subs.
• This is an inexpensive meal option that doesn't skimp on quality ingredients. Participating locations will offer the Black Angus on Rosemary Parmesan Sub for $5.19 for a small size, $6.49 for a regular and $7.99 for a large.
• Catering to today's diners' emerging high-end tastes and demand for grab-and-go food options, the sub's distinct combination of sweet smokiness layered against a spicy backdrop packs a punch designed to tease the whole palate in a single bite. Adding to the sub's robust flavor profile are:
• Thick slices of premium Black Angus steak
• Melted mozzarella and aged cheddar cheese, married with a pile of sautéed mushrooms and onions
• Toasted-to-perfection Rosemary Parmesan Bread

• The sub is a nod back to a popular Black Angus sandwich Quiznos offered for a limited time five years ago. After requests from Quiznos Facebook fans to bring back the sub came pouring in, Quiznos decided to introduce an updated version of the classic at a time when diners are looking for tasty and satisfying meals that are priced right.
