Best Sandwich Advocate For Fire Safety Sparky's Subs
2721 E. Speedway STAFF PICK: The first thought that crosses your mind as
you walk into Sparky's is, "Did I leave the burner
on?" Maybe it's the booted effigy sliding down from the ceiling
pole, or the mural of firefighters hard at work on a blazing inferno.
There's something eerie about eating a submarine sandwich next
to an area cordoned off with yellow disaster tape. Take the whole
family, as kids will enjoy the display case full of firefighting-related
toys, and even your pets may get a thrill from the two red hydrants.
Underneath all the glass table tops are charred copies of actual
newspaper articles of various local tragedies, including "Two
Women Found Dead in Burned Mobile Home," and "Metal
Panel Pierces Head of Man in 18-Foot Fall." You may want
to eat here for the same reason people slow down to rubberneck
at the scene of an accident.
