Threefer Review: Hoagies & Wings – Sherman Oaks, CA
Hoagies & Wings happens to be in a prime location. Right next door to the 2nd best record store in Los Angeles, Second Spin. Tony and I had both visited there before the launch of the site, and both had a good time with the sandwiches. When I started looking up some of L.A.’s preferred [...]

Victor Jr.’s – Culver City
As I was on a rare trip out of my immediate neighborhood for a meeting with my managers, I decided to find a sandwich shop in Culver City to challenge Lee’s. The most often mentioned on Yelp and the like was Victor Jr.’s. It is directly across the street from Sony Studios which, in turn, [...]

San Carlo Italian Deli & Bakery – Chatsworth
I think, at this point, the San Carlo Special is my favorite Italian sub in town. Or it’s my favorite Italian sub OUT of town, depending on how you look at it. Chatsworth might be a bit of a hike for a your average Angeleno just to grab a bite but I think this particular [...]

Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli – Eagle Rock
I’ve driven past the non-descript store front dozens of times, and never really gave it a second thought. It came up in conversation elsewhere, though, so I thought we could give a try. The first thing you notice upon entering is the waft of pastries… it’s… amazing. The front half of the store is filled [...]

Philly Steak Depot – Hollywood, CA
The Philly Steak Depot is in a good spot for me. It’s in between my apartment and my comic shop. Often times I’ll go out on a Wednesday and pick up new comics and swing by the Depot on the way home for a cheese steak so greasy that I won’t be able to touch [...]

Threefer Review – Lee’s Hoagies – Pasadena, CA
Every once in a while, we’re hoping to have a review from all three of us on a place we find particularly remarkable (or, y’know, happens to be where we all meet up.) We’re still working on the format so please, forgive the work in progress. Gary was the first of us to hear of [...]

Mario’s Italian Deli and Market – Glendale, CA
My first review is for a place very close to home. Mario’s Italian Deli is less than a mile from my house, and as I don’t drive, it’s fast becoming my usual joint. Mario’s is just off of Glendale Blvd. on Broadway, right in the heart of Glendale. It’s been around forever and a day, [...]

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 [...]
