Lenny’s Sub Shop New Premium French Dip: Hot Off the Grill = Yummy In Your Tummy

If Jack Frost is nipping at your nose this time of year, you may need a little something extra to warm your body and your soul. Think roasting and toasting. Think comfort food. Think Lenny’s Sub Shop’s premium hot sub sandwiches. Cold weather may be upon us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the perfect hot meal to heat up your day.

What should that hot meal be?

Please let us introduce Lenny’s Premium French Dip sandwich, the newest addition to the Lenny’s family of hot subs. You know our hot subs are always cooked fresh to order, and this one is no different. But, there’s something about hot roast beef served on a crisp, white sub roll that warms the heart like nothing else when it’s cold outside.

Our version of the classic French Dip sandwich comes with a few special touches. We hand-slice premium roast beef just the way you like it and warm it to perfection on the grill. We pile it high on our fresh baked sub roll and top it with melted Swiss American cheese. A real French Dip sandwich just wouldn’t be complete without piping hot au jus for dipping, so you can bet ours comes with that quintessential finishing touch on the side. Add chips and a drink to complete the meal and one of our team members will gladly bring it all to your squeaky-clean table, proving we’re committed to offering our guests More Food, More Taste, More Personality.®

Speaking of more food, did we mention what a good value our French Dip is? Our regular size sub boasts a half-pound of roast beef, while our full size sub is loaded with about a pound. That can be enough for two meals—talk about bang for your buck! Top off your meal with one of our fresh-baked cookies and you’ve found the ideal way to beat the winter chill.

So don’t bother roasting chestnuts on an open fire this season. Stop by your neighborhood Lenny’s Sub Shop and try our Premium French Dip sandwich. It’s available for a limited time only, so hurry!

Top 10 Reasons Why Everybody Loves Lenny’s—Continued!

The sub sandwich has been an America favorite for years, and there have been countless attempts to perfect it. If you’ve been on the hunt for the ultimate sub sandwich and just haven’t discovered one that leaves you wanting to come back for more, stop your search! Lenny’s Sub Shop can satisfy any craving for what is arguably the most classic food creation around—meat, cheese and veggies piled high between fresh-baked bread. You’ve read the first five reasons why everybody loves Lenny’s; now, here are the last five!

1. Lenny’s Signature Hot Pepper Relish. There may be other versions of hot pepper relish available, but they’re nothing like Lenny’s Hot Pepper Relish. Made with fresh cherry peppers for a not-as-spicy-as-jalapeno, but ultra-flavorful-with-a-little-bit-o-zing taste, we can add it to your sandwich or send it home with you to turn any appetizer or meal into a to-die-for culinary experience.
2. Fun, Friendly Service. We don’t just say we provide fun, friendly service; we live it. At Lenny’s you’re our guest and maybe even our neighbor, so we’ll treat you like we’d want to be treated. That’s why we’ll greet you at the door, make sure your sandwich is prepared just the way you like it, and re-fill your drink and deliver it to your table for you. Anything else you need? Just ask!
3. Bread and Cookies Baked Fresh Daily. You know the feeling, right? Sinking your teeth into fresh-baked bread that’s not too hard and not too chewy… Using fresh-baked bread is the ONLY way to make a superior sub sandwich, so consequently, that’s how we do it at Lenny’s. And, for all you cookie monsters out there, it doesn’t matter how old you are. You know a good cookie when you taste one. Come have one of our chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut or oatmeal raisin cookies. You won’t regret it.
4. Great for Kids; Bring the Whole Family. Having kids in tow doesn’t mean you have to give up good food and a fun experience. Our Global Adventures kids’ meal bags take kids on a fun, educational journey and are loaded with puzzles and fun facts to entertain your little ones while providing a meal they—and you—can be pleased with. Our clean dining areas and restrooms let you rest assured you’re in an environment that caters to everyone in your household. At Lenny’s, a family meal out means a great time can be had by all!
5. Don’t Worry About Trash; We Clean the Tables. At Lenny’s, you get the full-service experience at the quick-service price. That’s something you don’t see everyday! We know you could be on your way back to work or to some other important engagement so why worry about getting dirty cleaning up after yourself? If the kids are with you and you’re having a family meal out, it wouldn’t be a nice break if you still had to clean up, would it? Leave it to us. That’s how you—and we—know it’s clean!
So, what are you waiting for? Hop in the car and zip over to Lenny’s Sub Shop. We’re curious to know what you think, so leave us a comment here!

Top 10 Reasons Why Everybody Loves Lenny’s!

Our guests aren’t shy about telling us what they like about Lenny’s Sub Shop, and we love to hear their comments! We’ve received a lot of feedback over the years, and we continually strive to build on those things you like the most about our restaurants. We want to make your dining experience with Lenny’s all about good eats and top-notch service at a fair price. So, whether you’re one of our loyal guests or you’re looking for an occasion to give us a try, we can give you 10 reasons to stop in and grab one of our delicious sub sandwiches! Let’s start with the first five…

1. Authentic Philly Cheesesteaks Hot Off the Grill. Or, in terms your taste buds can understand, Scrumptious Mouth-Watering Steak and Cheese Perfectly Sculpted Into an Edible Work of Art. We start with seven ounces of steak, add grilled onions and top it off with Swiss American cheese. Served fresh and hot off the grill, you won’t find a better Philly Cheesesteak in town!
2. Premium Deli Meats Sliced to Order. Step into one of our restaurants and you’ll see the deli case stocked full of premium deli meats and cheeses. Choose your favorites and watch us slice them as we prepare your sandwich. It doesn’t get any fresher than that!
3. Plentiful Portions of Meat and Cheese. Lenny’s subs aren’t just two pieces of bread with a slice of meat and cheese in between. They’re stacked high with meat and cheese—we’re talking mammoth proportions. A regular-size sub is seven and a half inches long and weighs a half pound. A large-size sub is 15 inches long and weighs a full pound. That’ll satisfy even the biggest of appetites!
4. Chicken & Tuna Salad Made from Scratch. Two of our most popular items, our chicken and tuna salad are made fresh every morning. Enjoy it on a round Kaiser roll, on a sub roll, on a bed of lettuce or take home a pint for the week—it’s up to you. We want only the freshest ingredients and we know you do, too!
5.Crowd Pleasing Catering and Party Platters. Don’t stress over preparing food for that next meeting, tail gait party or other special occasion. Lenny’s can handle it for you. In addition to our cold sub party planner menu, be sure to check out the new Lenny’s Hot Catering menu that offers all your favorite hot subs served buffet style.

That’s it for now! Stay tuned for our next blog and the rest of the Top 10 Reasons Why Everybody Loves Lenny’s. But, until then, leave us a comment and answer this question: What’s the number one reason why YOU love Lenny’s?

When It Comes to Portions, Size Does Matter!

You know the old saying, “the bigger, the better?” Well, we all know that’s true in many cases. But, when it comes to sub sandwiches, bigger is definitely better. And when you can get a bigger sub sandwich at a great price – what more can you ask for!

We understand everyone wants to get the most for their money. That is why Lenny’s believes in offering huge portions at reasonable prices. We want to earn customer loyalty, by offering huge portions of the highest quality ingredients for a fair price.

Enter stage right (Lenny’s Sub Shop). We make your sandwich exactly how you like it, using only premium meats and cheeses sliced fresh to order. With about a half pound of meat and cheese on a regular size sub – Lenny’s regular sub is 7.5 inches long, WOW! – and a pound on a large size sub (15 inches – forget the footlong, right?), you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better value for your money. And since one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, many of our guests enjoy half of a large size sub for lunch, and save the other half for dinner. With that much meat and cheese on a sandwich, order two and feed a family of four for much cheaper than at a casual dining restaurant. Talk about bang for your buck! It just goes to show that even if you’re someone who wonders, “How much is too much?” you can rest assured knowing that even if it’s too much for one sitting, you can still reap the benefits of a good value by saving some for later.

But at Lenny’s we won’t compromise taste to save a buck! We know that freshness and flavor are on the top of your requirement list when you walk into a restaurant. Sometimes eating out is something people do for fun. However, with schedules getting busier everyday, people often dine out because they don’t have time to cook! If that’s the case, it’s all the more reason you’ll want to choose Lenny’s for dinner! Our dedication to serving taste bud-tantalizing—heck, let’s just call them “yummy”—subs has been our focus since our first store opened in 1998.

And at Lenny’s, all this comes at an every-day low price. No gimmicks or “for really, really short limited time only” solicitations. We know our guests don’t always have time to hassle with just the occasional special, so we offer our subs at value prices day after day.

So what’s the bottom line when it comes to portion sizes? Too much is never enough—as long as you’re talking about the food and not the price!

We’ll do anything to find the best ways to serve and stay connected with the people who love our food, and since this social media thing is exploding around us, what better way is there for us communicate with our biggest fans? Look out! We now know enough about social networking to be dangerous!

Over the next couple of months, you’ll find information in this blog on everything from our mission to what makes an appropriate portion size to the history of the Philly Cheesesteak. But, our passion for this new way of keeping in touch won’t stop with the blog. We hope you’ll follow us on Facebook and Twitter. You’ve told us those are the best ways to reach you. So please, read on, to help us kick off our new venture!

Our genuine Philadelphia-style sub shop was first opened in 1998 in a Memphis, Tenn., suburb. The fresh-baked bread and finest quality deli meats, coupled with a commitment to quality and dedication to detail has made Lenny’s Sub Shop one of the fastest growing sub shops around. Today, we have more than 160 franchise restaurants nationwide to satisfy those cravings for authentic Philly Cheesesteaks, world-class sub sandwiches and, of course, our signature Hot Pepper Relish. (By the way, it’s not only great on sandwiches; it’s “to die for” mixed with dips and appetizers!)

If you’ve ever been to one of our restaurants, you know our dedication to More Food, More Taste, More Personality® runs deep. Our seven and one-half inch sandwiches offer one-half pound of meat; over a pound goes into a 15-inch sandwich. Wow! That’s a mouthful! And, these subs are made fresh to order with only top-notch ingredients, so you can expect only top-notch sandwiches.

A visit to Lenny’s Sub Shop is like having lunch at a friend’s house, and that’s why our loyal guests repeatedly return to the particular Lenny’s location they call, “My Lenny’s.” Our team members kick off your visit by greeting you at the door with a friendly “hello.” But, that’s just the beginning. We’ll make your sandwich the way you like it, and you can enjoy your sub while chilling out in one of our ultra-comfortable booths. We want you to feel at home, so refill your drink as you please, or we’ll be happy to refill it for you. What’s the best part? There are no trash cans in our dining room because we don’t want you to clean up after yourself! That’s our job.

We pride ourselves on being the favorite neighborhood sub shop, so rest assured our dedication to making mouth-watering and generously sized subs and Cheesesteaks and providing exceptional customer service at a fair price will never disappear. After all, that’s why, Everybody Loves Lenny’s!
