While many fast casuals are focusing on plant-based offerings these days, Quiznos and Jimmy John's are doubling down on meat-packed sandwiches for their latest limited-time offerings, according to a pair of company press releases.

Denver-based Quiznos has created the Bison Reuben, featuring premium bison from High Plains Bison, sauerkraut, swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing served on toasted rustic rye bread, and Jimmy John's is "singing the bleus" with a Beefy Black & Bleu Sandwich. Available now through the end of November, it has bleu cheese dressing and crumbles, cracked black pepper and horseradish aioli on top of hand-sliced roast beef.

"At Jimmy John's, we're committed to new and exciting sandwich innovations," Darin Dugan, Jimmy John's CMO, said in a release. "The unexpected and bold flavor combination of our new Beefy Black & Bleu Sandwich is the latest example of the high-quality, flavor-forward sandwich variety consumers have come to expect and enjoy from the Jimmy John's brand."

Jimmy John's has over 2,600 locations

Quiznos' Bison Reuben is available in the U.S. and Canada at participating locations while supplies last.

"While our guests find familiar items appealing, they are also consistently looking for new and adventurous menu items to try," Chef Mike Gieseman, director of Culinary and Innovation for REGO Restaurant Group, which owns Quiznos, said in a release. "The Bison Reuben provides a unique protein option to the beloved traditional Reuben sandwich. Bison is a tender and flavorful meat that can elevate a well-loved sandwich to new heights."

Founded in 1981, Quiznos has locations in 32 countries.
