As many Americans on the East Coast finalized dinner plans on Friday, Subway s corporate Twitter account posted a photo of a tuna salad sub sandwich decked with verdant spinach leaves and unbelievably plump tomato slices against a black background. The accompanying caption read, Keep fishing folks, we ll keep serving 100% wild-caught tuna.
It was a not-so-subtle subtweet directed at anyone who had come to doubt if Subway s tuna salad
actually contained tuna over the prior week after a lawsuit alleged that the chain s tuna products were instead made from a mixture of various concoctions.

As San Francisco Chronicle reporter Soleil Ho wrote, the lawsuit itself was kind of a non-story. The plaintiffs, Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin, and their attorney repeatedly declined to specify what was found in an analysis of the tuna salad.
Bushwick pizza phenom Roberta’s appears to be gearing up for a foray into burgers and fries. The Brooklyn favorite recently launched a new Instagram account to tease photos for Burgie’s, which appears to be an upcoming casual, counter-service spot from the acclaimed pizza team.
Details are scarce, but according to several of Burgie’s Instagram comments, the burger shop will be located in Bushwick and will be opening up “very soon.” Popular food Instagrammer Mike Chau of Food Baby fame posted a photo of a Burgie’s burger on Tuesday alongside a caption that listed the restaurant’s location 198 Randolph Street, between Gardner Avenue and Steward Avenue and an opening date of Saturday. Roberta’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the new project.
