Firehouse Subs is serving up warm and tasty comfort food this season with the debut of its new French Dip sandwich.
Available for just a limited time, the new French Dip sandwich features tender, slow-roasted beef paired with caramelized onions, melted Swiss and provolone cheeses, and Italian seasoning. The whole thing is served on a toasted garlic bread roll alongside a serving of hot and savory aus jus for dipping. When dipped into the steam aus jus, the flavors of the sandwich take on an entirely new savory element. As the brand explains on an Instagram post promoting the new offering, "Take it from a real firefighter—there’s no better way to put out hunger than with slow-cooked roast beef dipped in au jus."
