• I compared roast-beef sandwiches at Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's, and Subway to find the best one.
• The bread at Jimmy John's never fails to impress me, but I thought the rest of the sub was bland.
• My Subway sub was made with remarkably crisp produce, but Jersey Mike's easily had the best meat.

I could probably eat a sandwich for lunch every day for the rest of my life.

On my quest to compare popular chains, I put roast-beef subs from Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's, and Subway to the test.

I ordered each sandwich on the shop's standard bread and piled them with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Here's how the roast-beef sandwiches stacked up.

Subway is easily one of the biggest fast-food chains.

Subway is one of the largest global chains, but its ubiquity hasn't necessarily led to an overly positive public opinion.

I'll admit that I've been let down by the restaurant more than once, but nonetheless, I count myself among its fans. Because Subway has over 30,000 locations globally, it's still nice to know I can probably grab something familiar at one, no matter where in the world I am.

I ordered a 12-inch roast-beef sub for $16.28, which breaks down to about $1.36 an inch.

The produce at Subway tasted surprisingly fresh.

Subway employees can sometimes go a little heavy on the sauce, but the few stripes of mayo I got were well-portioned.

The bread and cheese were nothing special, but the roast beef was actually pretty tasty — I just wish there was more of it.

The produce truly stood out here. The tomatoes were thickly cut and actually had good flavor, and the lettuce tasted fresh and crisp.

I'd argue that roast beef should be the star of a roast-beef sandwich, but I'm certainly not mad at the Subway sub.

Jimmy John's Big John sandwich was next on my list.

Jimmy John's is a Midwest staple that's spread to over 2,000 locations across the US. It's perhaps most famous for its fresh-baked bread.

I ordered a regular (8-inch) Big John but paid $1 extra to add provolone cheese. The total came to $11.41, or about $1.43 an inch.

The bread makes the meal at Jimmy John's.

Sadly, I thought my roast-beef sandwich from Jimmy John's tasted rather bland overall.

It needed a bit more meat, the meat needed a bit more salt, the cheese was all but undetectable, and the veggies faded into the background.

You'd think that would mean I didn't enjoy this sandwich, but that wasn't the case because of one thing: the bread.

Jimmy John's French bread is good enough to be enjoyed on its own with just some butter or perhaps a spread of Dijon mustard. It readily elevates what would've been an underwhelming sandwich into a perfectly decent meal.

Jersey Mike's served up freshly sliced meat.

New Jersey-based chain Jersey Mikes has over 2,000 locations throughout the US and Canada.

It's famous for building sandwiches with freshly sliced cold cuts, and it was the only chain where I watched an employee slice my roast beef seconds after I placed my order.

My No. 6 (roast beef and provolone) 7-inch sub cost me $12.36, or about $1.77 an inch.

My Jersey Mike's sandwich reminded me of one from a mom-and-pop deli.

The roast beef piled onto my Jersey Mike's sandwich was well over an inch thick. I pulled a few pieces of meat out to try on its own and found that it tasted high quality, too

The provolone cheese also had good flavor, but I didn't think there was enough lettuce, and the tomatoes tasted a bit bland.

However, the biggest issue I had with the sandwich was the rather sloppy, messy assembly. It was difficult to hold together as a cohesive unit, and the mayo was slapped on too heavily and unevenly.

I haven't ordered this enough to know if it was a one-off problem or a consistent problem with the chain's sandwich assembly.

There were pros and cons to each sandwich — I wish I could combine them.

The generous portion of roast beef and the quality of the meat at Jersey Mike's easily would've made it my favorite sandwich had it been assembled with more care.

However, as it is, there were things I liked and disliked about each sub. Jimmy John's sandwich tasted pretty bland despite its amazing bread, and Subway's felt underfilled but had lovely tomatoes and lettuce.

It would be divine if I could combine the meat from Jersey Mike's and the produce from Subway on the bread from Jimmy John's.

Sammy Sosa had not been invited back to Wrigley Field, or anything Cubs-related, since he retired in 2007, but all that has changed.

It has long been speculated that Sosa took performance-enhancing drugs during his career, most notably during his home run binge in the late '90s.

Cubs ownership has long said Sosa would need to apologize and all but admit to taking steroids for the relationship to be mended.

On Wednesday, as the Cubs announced a festival for fans, Sosa admitted he "made mistakes."

"I left it all on the field for the Cubs and Cubs fans because I wanted to win and make the fans happy. I loved to see the fans at Wrigley in the Right Field Bleachers every home game," Sosa said in a letter. "I understand why some players in my era don't always get the recognition that our stats deserve. There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws, but in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize.

"We accomplished great things as a team, and I worked extremely hard in the batting cage to become a great hitter. Cubs' fans are the best in the world, and I hope that fans, the Cubs and I can all come together again and move forward. We can't change the past, but the future is bright. In my heart, I have always been a Cub and I can't wait to see Cubs fans again."

The letter was enough for Sosa to be invited to the 2025 Cubs Convention, owner Tom Ricketts said in a statement.

"We appreciate Sammy releasing his statement and for reaching out. No one played harder or wanted to win more. Nobody's perfect, but we never doubted his passion for the game and the Cubs," Ricketts said. "It is an understatement to say that Sammy is a fan favorite. We plan on inviting him to the 2025 Cubs Convention and, while it is short notice, we hope that he can attend. We are all ready to move forward together."

Sosa is the only player in MLB history to hit at least 60 home runs in three separate seasons. He retired with 609 in his career, which ranks him ninth all time, but PED speculation has kept him out of Cooperstown.

Earlier this year, Sosa walked out of a media session when he was asked about his suspected PED use. He was in Chicago for a memorabilia event, and it was his first time in the Windy City since his career ended.

Sosa is largely credited with bringing baseball back to life with his own personal home run derby with Mark McGwire in 1998 as they both chased, and shattered, Roger Maris' record of 61 homers in a season. McGwire hit 70, and Sosa hit 66. Sosa even swore under oath he did not take PEDs.

The New York Yankees are executing Plan B quite nicely.

Just a week after losing Juan Soto to their crosstown rivals, they acquired yet another All-Star, Cody Bellinger.

Just days after Soto left for Queens, they inked ace lefty Max Fried to an eight-year deal, and, on Friday, they acquired dominant closer Devin Williams.

Now, it appears they have added Bellinger, who was named the NL Rookie of the Year in 2017 and the 2019 NL MVP.

It's been an up-and-down career for Bellinger, who was on his way to becoming one of the game's best early in his career. From 2017 to 2019, he hit .278 with a .928 OPS. Since then, he's a .244 hitter with a .731 OPS.

EIGHT MLB BURNING QUESTIONS/PREDICTIONS POST-WINTER MEETINGS

ESPN first reported the deal. The Yankees later announced it on social media.

His last two seasons with the Chicago Cubs, though, were better. In 2023, he hit .307 with 26 homers, but he took a step back with a .266 average and a .751 OPS in 2024. Analytics suggest Bellinger was lucky in 2023, because he's not nearly the hard hitter he used to be. So, the 2024 season could be seen as the lefty returning to reality.

The Yankees apparently plan on putting Bellinger in center field, although he has spent time at first base. If that's the case, it ensures that Judge goes back to his normal right field position, and they could now look at the first base market that includes Pete Alonso, Christian Walker, Carlos Santana and Paul Goldschmidt.

The Yankees will reportedly pay $45 million of the $50 million owed to Bellinger through 2026. He has a player opt out after the 2025 season. They sent reliever Cody Poteet back to Chicago.

Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg announced Tuesday that the prostate cancer he defeated earlier this year has returned.

The Chicago Cubs legend wrote in an Instagram post that the cancer, which he thought had been eliminated by radiation, has spread. 

"Unfortunately, we recently learned the cancer has relapsed, and it has spread to other organs," he wrote Tuesday. "This means that I’m back to more intensive treatment. We will continue to be positive, strong, and fight to beat this. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family."

"Ryne is an inspiration to cancer survivors everywhere," Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said in a statement Tuesday. "I know all Cubs fans join my family and me in sending positive thoughts to Ryne and keeping him and his family in our prayers as he faces this next round of treatments to defeat cancer. Ryne has the heart and soul of a champion and that will serve him well in this challenge."

Sandberg hit .285 with 282 homers, 1,061 RBIs and 344 steals in 16 seasons in the majors. He made his big league debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1981 and appeared in 13 games with the Phillies before he was traded to the Cubs in January 1982.

Sandberg turned into one of the majors’ top players with the Cubs. He made 10 MLB All-Star teams and won nine Gold Gloves. He also was the NL MVP in 1984.

He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005.

Over the summer, the Cubs immortalized Sandberg with a statue that depicts him crouched and waiting for a grounder. It stands next to bronze tributes to fellow Hall of Famers Ferguson Jenkins, Billy Williams, Ron Santo and Ernie Banks.

• Billionaires are relocating more since the COVID-19 pandemic, per a report from Swiss bank UBS.
• UBS said that Switzerland, the UAE, Singapore, and the United States are popular destinations.
• "The shock of the pandemic put a premium on first-class healthcare," UBS wrote.

Billionaires have increased the frequency at which they are relocating overseas since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the annual Billionaire Ambitions Report from UBS says.

The Swiss banking giant's report, which tracks sentiment among the world's superrich, found that since 2020, 176 billionaires have relocated around the world. With a global population of 2,682 as of April 2024, this represents around one in 15 billionaires, or roughly 6.5%.

The outflow of billionaires between 2020 and 2024 was most pronounced in Eastern Europe, where there was a net outflow of 29 billionaires, likely reflecting ultrarich citizens leaving the region amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Central and South America, Oceania, and Southeast Asia also saw net outflows of billionaires, UBS said.

Meanwhile, billionaires have been moving to countries including Switzerland, the UAE, Singapore, and the United States.

The Middle East and Africa region has also attracted new billionaires, with individuals with a combined net worth of over $400 billion moving to the region in the past four years.

UBS notes that one driving factor behind the superrich relocating is the increased value of good healthcare in the post-pandemic world.

"The shock of the pandemic put a premium on first-class healthcare," the report's authors wrote.

"As a group, billionaires are ageing, and their families are growing. Naturally, healthcare and education become more important."

Another driver, UBS said, is moving to "jurisdictions where legal structures support wealth transfer."

In other words, living in a place where the transfer of wealth through inheritance and other means is not subject to high levels of taxation.

"People are relocating to jurisdictions not just for tax benefits, but also for safety and political reasons," one American billionaire told the authors of the survey.

"I moved several years ago with my family to a country, state and city that affords the benefits most seek," the unnamed billionaire added.

"Unless the political divide addresses failed policies that have yet to curb crime, lack of rule of law and safety, as well as fostering an economic climate that unleashes potential, I fear the trend will continue."

Billionaires also value locations that support business — especially with geopolitical tensions remaining elevated globally, the report said.

According to UBS, total billionaire wealth rose by 121% worldwide from $6.3 trillion to $14 trillion between 2015 and 2024. At the same time, the number of billionaires grew from 1,757 to 2,682. This number peaked in 2021, when there were 2,686 — and has flatlined since.

• I tried classic club sandwiches at Subway, Jimmy John's, and Jersey Mike's to find the best one.
• Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's impressed me with their bread and meat, respectively.
• My Subway sandwich was somewhat of a letdown for me, largely because I felt the portions were small.

I love sandwiches, and if I had to pick just one to eat for the rest of my life, I'd choose the club.

In my book, a club sandwich consists of bread, mayo, turkey, lettuce, tomato, and sometimes bacon. However, it can also be made with other meats, like ham or chicken.

I set out to try Subway, Jersey Mike's, and Jimmy John's take on the classic sub to see which popular chain serves the best club.

Here's how they stacked up.

I started my club-sandwich journey at Jersey Mike's.

Jersey Mike's started serving sandwiches in the 1950s, and as its name suggested, the original location was in New Jersey. Now, however, it has over 2,000 shops across the US and Canada.

Jersey Mike's club sub consists of turkey, ham, provolone, applewood-smoked bacon, and mayo. I added lettuce and tomato since they were also included in the photo on the website.

My 7-inch sub cost me $11.57.

Jersey Mike's piled on the meat.

The turkey and ham were stacked high on the club sub — the pile was easily an inch thick, and that didn't even include the bacon strips. The meat was shaved thin and tasted fresh.

The tomato slices were a good size, and the mayo wasn't slathered on too heavily.

Unfortunately, the wheat bread didn't seem particularly fresh or soft to me. I also wasn't thrilled with how readily the finely chopped lettuce fell out of the sandwich.

Despite those minor flaws, I'd 100% order Jersey Mike's club again.

Next on my list was Jimmy John's.

Like Jersey Mike's, Jimmy John's has more than 2,000 locations, but its roots are in the Midwest. The first shop opened in Illinois in the 1980s.

Jimmy John's country club features turkey, ham, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. My 8-inch sandwich cost $11.97.

I thought Jimmy John's club had the best bread.

Jimmy John's French bread, which is the default unless you change it, is sublime. Maybe it was made shortly before I placed my order, but it seemed unusually fresh for a fast-food joint.

I could've enjoyed it with a pat of butter instead of toppings, but I was glad for all the other ingredients.

Although it didn't have bacon, the meat and cheese were cut thicker than Jersey Mike's, and the cheese was more flavorful.

I also appreciated the fresh veggies. The lettuce was chopped but not veritably minced, so it didn't slide off the sandwich as easily.

My country club had a bit too much mayo, so if I ordered it again, I'd definitely specify the amount. Aside from that, the sandwich was pretty much perfect.

I ended my sandwich quest at Subway.

Unlike the other two chains, which only operate out of the US and Canada, Subway is a global sandwich behemoth with tens of thousands of locations.

I'm an unabashed fan and take comfort in knowing that wherever I travel, there's probably some familiar food nearby.

That said, I don't usually order its oven-roasted turkey and ham sandwich, which is the closest thing it has to a club. You pick your own toppings at Subway, so I added mayo, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomato.

Subway's standard sub was the smallest of the three, at 6 inches, but it was also cheaper. I paid $8.68.

For me, Subway's take on the classic sub was a mild disappointment.

I wish I'd added a lot more toppings because this was the most diminutive sandwich of the trio by far.

There wasn't much meat, just two pieces of cheese, and the veggie portions were modest. In my opinion, the meat was also a bit less flavorful than the others.

Adding bacon would've helped, but it wasn't on the basic sandwich and it would've cost extra. I think I'd rather stick with one of my usual Subway orders anyway.

All three chains had their own take on a club, but some were better than others.

Although none of the sandwiches ticked all of my boxes, Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's came pretty close.

Both chains offered substantial subs loaded with meats, which were particularly flavorful at Jersey Mike's. Plus, Jimmy John's had the best bread.

The club I made at Subway, by comparison, fell flat. It was smaller, had fewer toppings, and didn't pack much flavor, so I probably wouldn't order it again. However, I'll still return to the chain for other subs.
