    Subway! Mmmm mmmm. They do the nicest biggest best portion salads ever, and their veggie delite is only about 300kcal. They are better value than any of the other big chains.

    The meatball one that everyone gets is a heart attack in a roll apparently, but that's personal choice. I'm vegetarian so I really like their stuff. Olives and pickles in your sandwich! As many salad fillings as you like for no extra charge!

    I love sushi, but it would be too dear. Especially for me, the man who once ate thirty plates of sushi at Aya. That does remind me of the time I crashed a Sushi and martial arts night in TCD...I wish we had events like that. :)

    Well, it's official: O'Briens is Toast. What now?

    I still think it would be nice to have something with a slightly exotic flavour in its place. My first idea of Sushi was a bit ambitious, but what about a place that sells basic Chinese fast food? €4 could get you a box of lemon chicken and noodles. :pac:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Veggie delite in subway is 200kcal. They also do the best salads ever- huge with a nice dressing and a variety of ingredients. They are also good value.

    If you want a fattening, unhelthy sandwich from Subway, you can get one, just like you can get bacon, cheese, butter, mayo or pesto on your O Briens sandwich if you wish.

    It's not that one place is healthier than the other. Subway are just cheaper so people might get the bigger sandwich and hence eat more calories. Subway include more salad ingredients than any other.

    Having said all that, I don't like subway because I'm sick of the sauces and can't stand the smell anymore.

    What food would be healthy anyway?

    glad theyre going, their toasties are rotten and their hot choccie tastes just like a cup of warm milk, had taken a liking to green tea in there though but at 1.80 for a small cup of warm water and a tea bag its a bit steep

    Actually, now that I read a bit more about it, Liquidation doesn't automatically mean O'Brien's is going to be wound down. The Liquidators are going to try to "sell it as a going concern". Any potential buyers here? :cool:

    It's the parent company that's screwed because of their business model (buying premises and leasing to franchisees), individual profitable outlets should continue.
