Tom,

How well does it hold up? Does it fall apart easily?

There's a JJ's near me and I'm now I'm curious to try it!

Thanks,
Sherry

[tmatrocks]

It holds up great - they put a secondary wrapper as a sort of handle that you can unwrap and keep the thing intact - but I have had good luck unwrapping the entire thing and devouring it nicely and neatly!

Oh, it is SO GOOD Sherry - I am so glad this chain in now making a bigger presence.....!!!

Man those look good. :yum:

Why don't they ever have stuff like this up in Canada??!!

I could replicate those but I would also add a red cabbage leaf to wrap it in
because they hold up better then lettuce and the red and green combination would look nice.

[tmatrocks]

I never thought of using cabbage - what a fantastic idea!

In any event, don't skimp on the meat. Jimmy John's just packs these with delicious deli meats and cheese!!

2:00 in the morning, and now I want one!!!

[leslieam]

Well this is a wonderful thing. I just went to their website and it turns out there are two in my area - one of which is very close to my house. This will also be perfect for my DH (as he can't have bread because of Celiac). Thanks for the tip!! This may just be dinner tomorrow night! :idea:

I never skimp on the meat when I make anything. :lol:
it is my favourite food. :yum:

A few days ago,I read somewhere (cannot remember where now) that using cabbage as a substitute for the bread is better because the leaves hold up better then lettuce does. I have not tried it yet (I will be soon) but it sounded like a good idea.

[Huskerchic]

OMG........there is a Jimmy John's right down the street from where I work and one about a mile away from where I live....I think this may be supper on Friday PM !!

I have always wanted to try JJ's !

[IrishShrty]

Hehe this is my every friday night ritual!!
I am a Billy Clubber:)

[Huskerchic]

So you can make ANY sandwich an "un wich"?

ANY or build your own!:)

[Lady Grace]

Please give me an idea, guys, how to make an unwich. I am still a novice with not much imagination....would you mind, please? There is no JJ's around here, darn it!! Thanks ! :wave: :wave:

[Jonahsafta]

The unwich is awesome.....we tried them and I was very very impressed. Both my husband and I loved them Yes, any sandwich could be an unwich. I highly recommend!

AWRIGHT! I'm flying tomorrow, and I think I've found my dinner to take with. :lol: There's a JJ's about 5 minutes from my office. Woo Hoo!

[bike2work]

I've never heard of this place and there are four within a half-hour of me. Sounds great! Thanks for the tip!

[lcstudent]

Oh wow, we get this delivered to campus all the time. Definitely going to have to give this a try! Looks amazing.

[LadyBelle]

I about had a heart attack over the nutritional info though. 9g net carbs isn't to bad. 769 calories and 3254.66 mg sodium made my eyes bulge a touch. Then again with a wrap that big I could make at least two meals out of it, if not more.

[tmatrocks]

I get it without the tomato, so minus a bit of the carbs.

But it is all good carbs anyway. The dressing is vinegar and oil.

[zorra_1]

I just had the Vito Unwich.

It was really good - but a whole bunch of lettuce!! Shredded lettuce inside, big ole' leaves outside :lol:

I would definitely get this again!

[pgray1229]

Mmmmmmmm sounds so good!! I should try it next time I'm out.

[Huskerchic]

I'm definately going to get one this weekend......I may weird but I LOVE lettuce, even wrapped in lettuce !!

(My middle name must be "rabbit".) :>)

[DuckyBaby]

I love the unwhich!! My friend used to make fun of me for eating it, but now she is LC and does the same.

At home, I make my own unwhich backwards, I use the meat as the wrap instead of the lettuce, it holds together better. I hope that doesn't sound gross.

I usually do something close...but I use cheese as the "bread" because it seems to hold up longer than my thinly sliced turkey/chicken! :yum:

[Huskerchic]

I had one of these this weekend......it was fair...definately not worth the $6.00+ I paid for it though....

So..........I went out and bought a head of lettuce and I always have sliced turkey, roast beef, and cheese around and I'm going to make my own !

[bike2work]

I'm bumping this up because learning about these "unwiches" has really saved me a few times. They are truly low carb, they're tasty, and the chain is willing to make every single item on the menu in a very low carb way. Wow.

Thanks again to the OP -- I never would have known about this otherwise.

[yummys_gir]

These are awesome! I love them!

[sandandy]

I usually send out for one at work...they are great. It really saves me when I didn't have time to pack my own lunch or dinner, depending on which shift I am working. My favorite is the blt. They deliver right to my job and it helps keep me on plan even when I dont have extra time.

[Armina]

:( there is no JimmyJohn's near me <sigh> But hey, I can make that!! :)

That's what I've started doing. They use about 3 of the big outer leaves of iceberg lettuce. I generally don't like iceberg, but for reasons I don't understand, this seems to work better than leaf lettuce.

It makes quite a mess. You want to eat these at home alone. Don't try to carry one to work.

[Armina]

I agree, I've tried with leaf lettuce before also and it doesn't work as well as iceburg. I love lettuce wraps and it can be messy :) I try to make sure everything is very dry before I put it together. I usually use mayonnaise with just a dot of mustard mmmmmmmmmm yummy. :)
They're also very good with ground beef cooked with either mexican or oriental seasonings. (With the Mexican, I usually just pour it over the lettuce - a taco salad without the shells or chips. :)

Great idea; thanks for the tip.

I love BLTs made this way. With mayo.

No Jimmy Johns in N. Florida. But Hardees has low carb options on their menu for breakfast and thickburgers!!!!!!
