"If there's one thing we know at Firehouse Subs, it's flavor. Our fans come to us for innovative sandwiches, so, when we decided to kick it up a notch, we went right to our fellow heat-seeking experts at Hot Ones to help us deliver a truly unforgettable sandwich experience with a scale of mild to seriously spicy," said Dena vonWerssowetz, Chief Marketing Officer of Firehouse Subs. "With the first-ever Last Dab™ Dill Pickle, we're serving one of the hottest subs the industry has ever offered – and for those daring enough, fans who order the Spicy Dill Hook & Ladder can put their heat tolerance to the ultimate test by asking to upgrade their normal side pickle to the Last Dab™ Dill Pickle."

"Firehouse Subs' reputation for delicious, flavorful subs make them the perfect partner for a Hot Ones collab," said Hot Ones host Sean Evans. "We're excited to see our hot sauces take center stage in these creative new subs, each one packing a varying level of heat. This partnership perfectly blends our shared passion for pushing the boundaries of flavor and heat, and we can't wait for our fans to try these fiery subs."
