Welcome to the Sandwich Kings

It all started a few months ago. Tony, Gary, and I are all East Coast kids transplanted out west. You don’t notice it at first but slowly, over time, it becomes clear, there’s a distinct lack of fantastic sandwich shops on every corner. From my time in Pittsburgh and Boston I don’t know that I ever lived more than a mile away from a world class hoagie. Add to that the culinary profundity of the Primanti Brothers Sandwich (we’ll get into it, I promise) and the deliciousness of a Boston Steak Bomb, and you can see there was a whole section of my life missing.
So, as we discussed the sandwich situation, we turned to the internet. It turns out there’s a TON of shops scattered across Los Angeles. While we managed to find some decent blog reviews here an there (we’ll all be forever grateful to Colorado Chow and their introduction of Lee’s Hoagies, the Holy Grail of L.A. sandwich shops). That being said, there wasn’t any definitive site for sandwich shops in L.A.
And so, we’ve decided to rectify that. We want to help introduce you to some of the very best in subs in Los Angeles, and, if all things go as planned, across the country, and who knows… maybe even beyond.
We are the Sandwich Kings.
