Synopsis[]
Alison Rosen (Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend, Childish) joins the 'boys to set up the rules for this year's Munch Madness and kick off the Tournament of Chompions: Hero's Journey: Sub-Optimal!
Hero's Journey: Sub-Optimal Rules[]
Munch Madness: Tournament of Chompions: Hero's Journey: Sub-Optimal
Here are the rules for this Tournament of Chompions:
- Sandwiches only! Sides stay on the sidelines, drinks are in the stink, chips get the slip, cookies are ookie, and soup's OFF.
- We are in a pickle: Pickles are eligible!
- If it's national, it's rational: Chains have to have locations across the US. This also excludes local LA chains.
- I like Ike: due to personal conflicts, Ike's has been removed from the tournament. (The Doughboys are friendly with Ike.)
- Some heroes are self-made: Customization is encouraged.
- We run hot and cold: one hot sandwich and one cold sandwich from each eatery.
- You can request extra napkins.
- Guests don't have to follow the rules.
- Mrs. Mitchell can ground Wiger if necessary.
Hot Cross Buns region 🥪[]
The first time The Doughboys visited Charleys, Nick gave it 3 forks and Mitch 3.25.
They also previously reviewed Firehouse Subs, with Nick rating it 4.5 forks and Mitch 3.75.

Hot Cross Buns Region Winner[]
Next, The Doughboys decide which sandwich gets sent to Joe Rogan (a hoagy to Rogy) and are so good, they change his mind about vaccines (or to make him stand strong as an anti-vaxxer).
| guest / host | winner |
|---|---|
| Nick Wiger | Firehouse Subs |
| Mike Mitchell | Firehouse Subs |
| Alison Rosen | Firehouse Subs |
Thus, Firehouse Subs advances to the next round of Hero's Journey: Sub-Optimal!
Further, Charleys is eliminated for good from the Tournament. Mitch uses his Permaban to keep it out for good and is not eligible for Fat Chance Kitchen or anything like that. (Also Susser further clarifies in the next episode that this Permaban, if used, will also keep the chain off of Doughboys forever after.)
