I guess you can make your own fins with chips that usually come with it.

>The Subway in Brighton is right opposite "Jason's" - a local sandwich shop with loads and loads of different fillings, on baguette, white, granary, medium-sliced or door-step, and all delicious and not looking like mass-produced. No competition!

We have a Jason's Deli (not a sub shop), another franchise sandwich shop. A little more upscale then Subway or Quiznos (IMO).
My favorite is the hot pastrami.
