Dagwood Sandwiches Still Better than Anything from Subway

As if Florida wasn't the crucible for tacky chain restaurants already, you can plan on adding one more to the mix: Dagwood's Sandwich Shopppes. Yup, they're based on the long-running comic strip--in fact, the creator's son, Dean Young, who currently pens Blondie, is in on the whole thing. The first DSS is opening in Clearwater Florida, but Young hopes to have 1,000 of them franchised within three years.

And what, praytell, will be the signature sandwich at Dagwood's? Why, the Dagwood, of course: "The 1-1/2-pound (0.68-kg) Dagwood includes ham, salami, pepperoni, mortadella, cappicola, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, red pepper and a secret Italian spread on three slices of bread topped with an olive skewer." Yum. Remember: Dagwood doesn't get fat because he's a cartoon character.

Oh, and the inside of the restaurant will be plastered with images from the strip--you didn't think they would leave room for anything tasteful, did you? Start buying stock in Boar's Head now.
