The Great Illinois Subway Expedition: Counting Footlong Dreams (and Sandwiches)
Ah, Illinois. Land of Lincoln, deep dish delights, and...subways? You bet your buns there are! But just how many sub shops are we talking about? Enough to fuel a marathon hot dog eating contest (don't tempt us, Chicago)?
The Numbers Game: How Many Subways Lurk in the Prairie State?
According to our crack team of sandwich sleuths (yes, that's a real job title, kind of), Illinois boasts an impressive 895 Subways scattered across its glorious landscape. That's a whole lotta meatball marinara, folks!
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Here's a breakdown for the truly sandwich-obsessed:
- That's one Subway for every 14,160 Illinoisans. Basically, you're never more than a short walk (or hangry stumble) from a footlong masterpiece.
- Chicago, the Windy City, also holds the crown for the Windy City with the Most Subways. With a whopping 166 locations, you can practically build a throne out of Italian BMTs.
But Wait, There's More! The Not-So-Scientific Field Research
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Now, numbers are great and all, but where's the adventure? We decided to hit the streets (and strip malls) to get a real feel for the Illinois Subway scene. Here's what we discovered:
- Subways in Unexpected Places: We found a Subway nestled between a bingo hall and a muffler shop. Now that's what we call diverse dining!
- The Art of the Subway Shuffle: Witnessing a customer expertly navigate the "pick two" meat situation was a thing of beauty. A true Illinois ballet.
- Local Legends: We met a man who claimed to have memorized the entire Subway menu. We didn't test him, but respect was definitely given.
