Jimmy John’s for a small birthday party (<15 people) — You are a guest, which sandwiches are you expecting?

[Anonymous]

Mostly turkey and roast beef, maybe some Italian. Something for the vegetarians (can you get a nice salad in case they don't like the veggies on bread option?). Nobody eats ham.

Italian #5
Turkey #4
Veggie w/ Cheese #6

If you have vegans they're screwed but I guess ask first or have fruit/chips too?

I don’t eat food at kids birthday parties. After having looked at the menu my kids would try roast beef or the chicken Caesar wrap.

Is this a party for kids, and you want to make sure there's something for the parents to eat? It's a nice gesture, and I'd order a few basic sandwiches, but I suspect most of them will pass. I like the suggestion about extra fruit cups and chips.

If it's for an adult whose favorite food is Jimmy John's (is it my BIL? You know him?), I think giving three options on the rsvp is the way to go.

This is good. For vegan get a veggie salad no cheese or cheese on the side so both veggies and vegans can eat it.

I used to get subway and majority of the parents ate. Put on the invitation lunch served.

The Jimmy John's mushroom sandwich is quite tasty and my favorite chain vegetarian option, FWIW. The meat eaters in my family would go for turkey.

I’ve never been a vegetarian but I used to love their veggie sandwich on wheat bread back in college — with no mayo (it already comes with lots of avocado spread). Haven’t had it in ages.

What is preventing you from asking your guests?

Ask your guests. Ask you guests what they prefer.

I’ve never been.

Jimmy John's owners are into trophy hunting so I don't spend my money there.

Try and get your kid interested in other food. My kid wouldn’t be attending.

I’ve heard no vegetables stuffed in a hoagie - DH is vegan so that is along our lines.

But for parents - what do you all eat? Or what type would you eat? Ham, turkey, roast beef, Italian mix?

So what?
