Roast Beef & Provolone

Top round, sliced thin and piled loose rather than packed flat, which is what keeps it tender. This is the best protein-per-calorie choice on the cold board and one of the pricier subs, so you are paying for the meat rather than the build. The giant at 1,850 calories is genuinely a two-person sub. If your shop stocks horseradish, ask for it on the side — it changes the sub completely and costs nothing.

Price and calorie figures are typical U.S. estimates gathered from public sources. Franchise locations set their own prices, so confirm locally before ordering.
