No, you’re definitely not alone in not understanding the hype.

Am I the only one who found Taylors to be a huge disappointment? Based on the responses, apparently so, but there vegetarian subs are dry and tasteless and everything else (that I had), pretty mid-level stuff…. certainly not gourmet.

Yeah, literally too many options. Food trucks, sit down restaurants, chains, etc. Some days inundated too many options.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as they can maintain the quality and integrity of the operation among franchisees. Five Guys is probably a good example of this.

Totally agree. I now work in Dupont, but came from several years near Union Station (when Union Station had only the food court and Au Bon Pain/Corner Bakery). The options within two blocks of my office were: Subway and Au Bon Pain.

Even before G Street Foods/Taylors I was constantly amazed by the enormous number of good lunch choices in the South Dupont area. People who’ve worked in this area for a long time have no idea how good they have it.

Depsite what David and Casey would have you believe, Taylor Gourmet is no longer run by two scrappy 20-somethings from Philly with a vision for better sandwiches. TG’s operations and planning have been turned over to an external group that has documented everything and can now replicate it wherever they choose. I’m guessing that franchising this brand is next.

Not that there’s anything wrong with any of that.

Hoping this will be the one with cheese steaks!

Taylor seems to be popping up everywhere. Hope they are expanding carefully and don’t burn out too soon…

Yeah, you guys that work around there have no idea how good you have it. I work by the Navy Yard and quick lunch options are extremely limited.
