Which wich?
There's one opening up near me. I'm not a fan of chains, but it's close to where I work and could serve as a quick place to grab lunch and go.
I'm skeptical of chain sandwich shops, as they just seem to be proliferating right now, but I'm just curious whether anyone knows anything about it?

Finally checked out this place yesterday. As far as chain sandwich places go, I agree with earlier posters that Which Wich was way above. I had an Italian with salami, pepperoni and capacola. Stuck to more traditional flavors you'd find on that kind of sandwich (V&0, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, salt and pepper, mustard).
I've got to say it was definitely impressive for a chain. It doesn't match my favorite local sandwich place overall, but my local place doesn't have near the variety (salami, pastrami, etc.). If there were a great Italian deli local to me, I wouldn't bother with Which Wich, but it'll do until then.

One just opened up a few miles from my house and now I think I am going to have to check it out. Any specific recommendations besides the avacado?

The two I have been to in Austin, TX have been great. I don't eat meat, so I have only tried the avocado, and three cheese options. While the '3 cheese' was a little too heavy, the avocado is consistently good. I mean really, really good. I always load it with all the choices - various olives, peppers, veggies, etc. Amazingly cheap too. Here in Austin every sandwich on the menu is just over 5 dollars.
Like many folks here I try to avoid chains and make an effort to eat locally. However, when this an option this place is amazing. (They play great music too, on what I assume is a satellite service.) Check it out.

Gimmicky order process that kids love, but so far every sandwich ordered there has been far superior to the chain sub shops in the area (Subway, McAllister's, Quizno's). I find it hard to believe that such an extensive menu can be that good, but so far everything has been fresh.
I've tried their Gyro, turkey, Cuban, ham, roastbeef - all are good. There are many different varieties of each, and the key is to pick your dressings carefully.

re: rweater
I tried it for the first time yesterday for lunch, Austin TX. I had the Cuban with only what typically comes on a Cubano (ham, pork, swiss, pickles, mustard). It was good, like a chain version of a Cubano albeit a little over salty in some bites. Service was slow and the place wasn’t that crowded. Will return though, I’m looking forward to trying the reuben next.
