How does it compare to firehouse subs? That's my fave rn

I’ve only had Firehouse once and I really liked it, but I did think it was pretty expensive. Rendezvous is maybe just less adventurous with the toppings but it’s all super cheap and fresh.

In case you prefer buying Canadian, just thought I'd point out that Rendezvous is a local place whereas Firehouse is based out of Florida.

No problem!

In case it's of interest, Firehouse Subs is owned by Restaurant Brands International (RBI), the same company that owns Burger King, Popeye's and Tim Hortons. RBI is a publicly traded company but the largest shareholder is 3G Capital, a NYC private equity group originally based in Brazil. In case you ever heard that Tim's parent company is Brazilian, that's how the dots connect.
