I love your firecracker sandwich—whoever thought of combining
mayo, garlic, chicken, bacon, jalapeños, cheese, lettuce,
tomato, ranch dressing, and “firecracker seasoning” on bread and
serving it with hot barbecue sauce is an effing genius.
I know! The firecracker is amazing. Our owner Marlene came up with
the recipe.
What’s in the firecracker seasoning?
I can’t tell you.
Please?
Nope.
Fine. I have other questions. Do people still call your restaurant
because they think you’re the other Tubs? The bathtub place where
people got nekkid?
Yeah. We still get at least two calls a day from people looking to
book hot tubs. We usually just tell them our store got shut down for
prostitution. Then they stop calling.
How do you respond when people try to scale back on their
sandwiches, thus making them less delicious? Do you ever try to stage
an intervention to protect the sanctity of the sandwich from picky
eaters?
I would, but I’m pretty much on autopilot all day long. Mostly I
just try to write everything down as fast as I can, you know?
Yes. Now can you tell me what’s in the firecracker sauce?
No.
Public Intern interviews cute guys.
I can’t say enough good things about the firecracker. A combination of all of my favorite things on damned good bread. If only I could bathe in pot of ranch, bbq and jalapenos, I would be a happy, albeit uncomfortably burning, man. I would totally go to Tubz if the only burning I got was from jalapenos and not from human secretion borne STIs. Thank you for being awesome and non-communicable.
I’m so happy that y’all at The Stranger found Tubs. They have really excellent sandwiches and they are often overlooked.
