Someone needs to pin a medal on the Jimmy John’s delivery guys, who zip up and down Sheridan Road in skintight spandex, delivering subs like some sort of sandwich speed demon. It’s no surprise the sandwich chain that boasts “freaky fast delivery” takes the cake for, well, fastest delivery. Even in the middle of a polar vortex, these brave souls navigate the patches of black ice and the sidewalks that no one shovels to bring food to your door in a matter of minutes. So, next time you’re craving a sub, skip the lines elsewhere and place your order at Jimmy John’s. These guys are so quick, they can receive your order, make your sub and bike to your location — all in the time it would take you to get through the line at the Subway in Norris.
