I grew up in the Washington DC/Maryland area and a staple of most sandwich shops was a Cheeseburger submarine sandwich, Kind of self explanatory, usually 2 hamburger patties on a (in a perfect world) crusty sub role. I have had a hankering for one recently and have had no luck. Do people have suggestions for sub shops in LA? Not so much Italians delis (I have Bay Cities for that) just kinds "Knock around" sandwich shops. No chains please. This is a menu of one of my favorite sandwich places in DC.

Does anyone know of a Ralph's that has "Private Selection Spiral or Quarter Sliced Ham" I received a coupon from Ralph's for this product but none in the Hollywood area seem to have it.

I an going to by a food processor and the I have it narrowed down two different ones. One is 450 watts of power and the other 525 watts. Is there a significant difference in the processing ability of the two wattages?

In regard to specificity...I did ask for people who had had enjoyed biscuits and gravy on The Outer Banks to give suggestions. I didn't ask about breakfasts in general, there are already threads covering that. So much for specificity.
ps. during my time there I will be visiting from Corolla down to Hatteras.

 

I'm going to be in the Outer Banks for a few weeks and I looking for some really good biscuits and gravy. The gravy needs to be top notch. Homemade is a must and with good chunks of sausage. Too many times when I've ordered it in my travels, the gravy is thin, lacking any sausage taste and most likely was from a can. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks, Mike

I spent ten years in Chicago and the closest I found to a real Chicago deep dish pie in Los Angeles is at Masa in Echo Park. Check it out. http://www.masaofechopark.com/

 

Heading to Las Vegas tomorrow (taking the 15) and looking for a place to have lunch on the road. Suggestions.

Another thumbs up for the lamb & feta sandwich at Papa Christo's. OPA!

 

I'm a big fan of Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica. Their Italian bread makes the best sandwiches. But it's not always convienent to make it out there from Hollywood. Is there a place like it in, or at least close to it, nearer to Holywood?

The best club sandwich I've had in town is at Doughboy's on 3rd. Everything is fresh and the toasted french pan de mie bread is killer, but not square. Lulu's on Beverly make a very good traditional club sandwich - square bread diagonal cut.

 

Hello All,
The title says it all. I'm looking for cannoli reccomendations from Corolla all the way south to Manteo
Thanks!

Yes rapture AND bliss! As for the "Better Burger" range, Have to admit never been to The Habit(but will try it soon), Fatburger's quality varies tremendously from location to location. and In-and-Out has always sucked it. The burgers are thin and overwhelmed by the topping & the bun. And I have never had a good order of fries there. Five Guys has meatier burgers, a better selection of toppings and the fries, as you agree, are miles ahead. As for sweet potato fries, they are OK every once and a while, but when I think "Burger and Fries" I do not think sweet potato fries. If Five Guys isn't your thing. Great, that just means a shorter line.

On the Five Guys website, they list a new one opening at 5550 Wilshire Blvd as "Coming Soon." That is roughly Wilshire and Burnside. Two blocks east of Hauser. A Five Guys less than 4 miles from my home? Oh, Rapture! Oh, Bliss!

We finally made it to The Rundown Cafe's Monday night fried chicken last night and it was great! You were right everyone else there was having the fried chicken. It was crispy perfectly seasoned, not greasy... perfection. The sides were good too. The garlic mashed potatoes were good as were the green beans, with little bits of ham. My Mom is a collard greens nut and ordered the greens as both of her sides. She gave them the thumbs up. Dinner starts at 5pm and we were there by 5:15 and the place was packed. Get there early. Now I have to wait til Friday to try Kill Devil Grill's fried chicken. The Rundown Cafe will be hard to beat.

We just had some righteous Mac and Cheese at the 101 Coffee Shop on Franklin. The cheese was thick, not soupy, and stuck to the big pasta shells. For an extra couple bucks we had bacon added on and this took it to a whole other level. Worth a try.

I actually tried Plumpy Nut yesterday. I am doing work with Doctors Without Boarders and they brought samples to the conference. It was interesting. It was like a thick and pasty natural peanut butter with a slight hint of chocolate. To my Americanized taste buds, it was not very sweet and had a little sour milk after taste. We saw footage of kids eating it and they were enjoying it immensely. But of course these poor kids were suffering from malnutrition. The smiles on their face almost made me cry.

Corolla Village BBQ is awesome!. We get dinner at least twice when we visit every fall. They close when they run out of food, sometimes it's 4pm sometimes it's 7pm. It was run by a guy named Rich. I get it with sauce on the side, But I do that for everything. Make sure you get an extra chicken if you want to make a great smoked chicken salad the next day. If you looking for the real deal in Corolla, look for the sign and go to Corolla Village BBQ. Here's a few photos.. The last one is of Rich

 

The Del Taco at Santa Monica and Highland closed for good today. I heard the building is being torn down and a something built in it's place. I've had many a late late night/early early morning snack from there. My wife and I dropped by and had one last order. A Big Fat Steak Taco and a couple Chicken Soft Tacos. It will be missed.

They sell all ribs and chicken by the pound. I've never gotten less than a half slab. I can't remember the exact price but it is reasonable. Don't forget the corn! Let me know if you try it. Another tip: Buy a chicken, put it in the fridge and the next day you can make some of the best chicken salad you're every had. ENJOY!

If you are tooling around the Valley on a Saturday afternoon and you want some tasty beef ribs stop by Handy Market at Magnolia and Buena Vista in Burbank. They have a BBQ set up in their parking lot that doles out some mighty fine Q. I've liked everything I've tried there but I never stop without getting some beef ribs. I do sauce on the side, but that's how I roll. I also always get grilled corn on the cob. The beef ribs are thick and meaty. It's a Gnawers paradise.
