Subway rival reveals latest move to steal away customers with it's 'ultimate temptation' menu
Jimmy John's is heating up summer with a new limited-time sandwich lineup — and an unexpected side of steamy storytelling.
The popular Subway rival launched the items today as part of its Summer Menu of Ultimate Temptation, also known as SMUT.
SMUT consists of four sandwiches: Spicy East Coast Italian, Beach Club, Ultimate Porker, and the Kickin' Ranch Chicken Wrap.
Any customer who purchases these items with the promo code BEACHREAD can gain access to 'The Blade and the Brine,' an audiobook narrated by The White Lotus star Walton Goggins.
Goggins described the book as a beach read with drama, desire, and 'a little danger' and admitted that recording it got 'pretty steamy.'
Guests who order between today and June 29 will unlock the first part of the audiobook, and customers who order on July 1 through 6 will unlock part 2.
Parts 1 and 2 of the audiobook will be delivered to customers via email on July 1 and July 8.
Besides these seductive sandwiches, Jimmy John's is celebrating summer with its newly released Lemon Sunshine Cookie.
Fans interested in trying Jimmy John's latest Italian creation will eat some spicy enough to satisfy one's 'favorite plot twist.'
The spicy offering includes hand-sliced salami and capocollo, provolone cheese, oil and vinegar, onion, lettuce, tomato, mayo and hot Jimmy Peppers.
Beach Club is the sandwich that can satisfy any customer looking to read on a beautiful sunny day.
The item is made up of turkey breast, provolone cheese, avocado spread, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
The Ultimate Porker is suitable for any pork enthusiast, and can be toasted.
The meaty sandwich comes with smoked ham, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
The only wrap on the SMUT menu is the 'saucy pick' for customers interested in kickin' it for the summer season.
This wrap features chicken, provolone cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, Jimmy Peppers, and ranch.
Jimmy John's has become a top competitor against Subway, the largest US sandwich chain that closed over 1,645 locations in the past two years.
Operating over 2,600 locations, Jimmy John's is currently the nation's largest owned delivery sandwich brand.
It's also created fun ideas for its marketing campaigns and recruited Jersey Shore cast member Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi last year to help launch its 'Picklewich.'
As of now, the chain regularly earns over $2 billion in annual revenue and is working on continuing its global expansion.

Broadway icon Kristin Chenoweth breaks silence in cryptic post after NBA fans savaged her national anthem performance
Broadway icon Kristin Chenoweth posted a cryptic Instagram story on Sunday night after her national anthem performance was panned by some NBA fans. Tony award winner Chenoweth, who is an Oklahoma native and massive Thunder fan, sang the 'Star-Spangled Banner' before the team's championship-clinching Game 7 win over the Pacers. But the performance didn't go over well with some viewers as she delivered a particularly long note towards the end of the rendition. And later in the night, she appeared to reference the backlash on her Instagram story, as she re-posted a quote which read: 'The price of authenticity is being disliked.' In a separate post, Chenoweth posted an excerpt from John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden', which said: 'And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.' Nonetheless, the performer didn't seem too affected by any criticism she may have seen as she later posted a video of herself celebrating the Thunder's 103-91 win. The former 'Wicked' star gleefully screamed 'We did it!' from her seat after the franchise had taken down Indiana to win its first championship. And the Broadway icon posted a cryptic response to her Instagram story later in the night The Thunder ultimately won in comfortable fashion, with MVP Shai Gilgeous- Alexander finishing with 29 points and 12 assists. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren also chipped in with 20 and 18 points apiece to get OKC to the finish line. Earlier in the night, however, Chenoweth had been on the receiving end of some brutal criticism from fans in response to her national anthem performance. One ABC viewer on social media described it as 'the worst national anthem I ever heard'. Another fan said: 'Geeze these national anthem singers are getting worse every time'. And a third commented: 'I just witnessed another trashing of a national anthem.' Another viewer took aim at the long high note that Chenoweth hit at the end of the song, saying: 'the end of that anthem made my dog uncomfortable'. Chenoweth went to Oklahoma City University after growing up in Broken Arrow, about 115 miles northeast of where the Thunder play. And she has sung the anthem at a few Thunder games in the past, sometimes alone and at least once with children from her Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp. Chenoweth won a Tony Award in 1999 for best leading actress in a musical for her role in 'You´re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.'

'FINALLLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TIMES LIKE THIS,' an excited fan wrote. The show had previously been removed from the platform back in 2020 and bounced between Hulu and Tubi before finally returning home to the streamer that helped make it a binge-worthy phenomenon. Fans expressed their excitement and plan to rewatch the show after its relaunch. 'I just started a re-watch yesterday! So great!' a user wrote on Reddit. 'I'm glad it's back too. I was watching on Hulu and made it to Season 6, it's such a better viewing experience without commercials,' someone wrote. 'This is my first time watching!! So good,' a comment read.

First premiering in 2012, Scandal made television history as the first network drama in nearly four decades to feature a Black woman in the lead role.

The series became a Thursday night staple during its original ABC run and helped launch the 'Thank God It's Thursday' era for Shondaland shows.
