Getting back to the Subway restaurant discussion, shortly after the kosher Subway in Baltimore first opened, we picked up some subs to bring home with us. Once we left the restaurant, drove home, and got out of the van, I began to feel very uncomfortable holding the wrapped subs, because the packaging was identical to every other (non-kosher) Subway’s packaging, and the kosher version was probably not yet well known in our community. So while I don’t think the concept of a kosher Subway is wrong, especially if eating inside the restaurant, I can definitely see the maris ayin point. I think the whole problem could be fixed by a prominent sticker on the wrapping paper or the bag identifying the kashrus of the sandwich.
