Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cousins Subs Now Offers a Bread-free 'Sub in a Bowl' Option

— December 29, 2019 — Lifestyle
For those who want to enjoy a tasty sub sandwich, minus the bread, Cousins Subs now offers a 'Sub in a Bowl' option.

As Cousins Subs' Vice President of Marketing Justin McCoy explains, the company has been receiving many requests for bread-free options. Therefore, the brand came up with the idea of a Sub in a Bowl concept, which allows guests to order any deli-fresh or grilled-to-order sub sandwich over a bed of mixed greens instead of on bread. Each Sub in a Bowl comes with the same amount of toppings as a sandwich and also comes with your choice of dressing on the side.

With many consumers cutting their intake of carbs, Cousins Subs' Sub in a Bowl option provides a handy, bread-free alternative to a sandwich.
