    I would. No doubt.

    The best sandwich, in my opinion, is any from a Publix deli. Those who live in the south know what I'm talking about.

    We changed to Pick Up Stix. They cook stuff when you order it. No steam tables. Very good.
    Last time I went to Panda, (this goes in the "ANNOYING" thread) the woman in front of me ordered about four different entrees and demanded that they ALL be cooked fresh. You're at freaking Panda Express, take what you get.

    My wife and I moved out of Florida several years ago and say with a straight face that Publix is what we miss the most.

    Any chain that has those Coca-Cola Freestyle machines jumps to the top of the list.

    Publix isn't cheap. Aldi is probably 35% cheaper.

    Sure, but their business models couldn't be more different.

    Same. Trader Joe's is the next best thing. I also live near a Safeway, and I often hate going there.

    Publix is far superior to Aldi. I'd gladly pay extra for Publix's products.

    Those machines are one of the great inventions of the 21st century.

    Half the fun of going out to eat is to watch people try to figure out how to use them.
    It can be hilarious, especially when they hold the cup too far back and dispense the soda all over their hand.
    One place has shaved ice that comes pouring out. After about three people, there is enough for a snowball fight.
    You have to laugh when they finally figure it out but are too slow and it resets before they can pour their drink.

    Jersey Mike's has good ingredients but the rolls are way, way too thick. I always get mine as a wrap. Best chain shop tuna IMHO.

    I love Publix. When I visit family in Florida it is a day one stop along with Chick-Fil-A. Always get their subs to go to the beach.
