Sandwich Los Angeles

A few weeks ago, I was walking north towards Larchmont Village and ran into my friend Gev. He was coming from Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits & Cheese, having just eaten one of their locally renowned sandwiches. He was matter-of-fact about his lunch, but Gev isn’t somebody who goes out of their way for bad food, so I made a mental note.

Some people may start at the top of the menu, but I skipped to #3 Soppressata Salami ($8.50). Thin-sliced, dry-cured salami teamed with sharp Spanish Manchego, cheese, mixed greens, sun-dried tomato spread, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. This was by no means a belly bomb, opting for balance instead. All sandwiches are made with either Italian ciabatta or a crusty French baguette (recommended) and comes with punchy cornichons and marinated olives.

After posting on Instagram, L.V.W.S.C. lovers started commented in droves. Chef Chris Oh even suggested an off-menu sandwich called El Conquistador, a Spanish-inspired option with chorizo, prosciutto, Manchego, and pickled peppers.

This stop made me wonder which other L.A. gems I’ve overlooked. If you have any favorites, let me know.
