There used to be a truly fantastic deli across the street from Vroman's called Stottlemeyers (sp?). It was there that my mother taught me the art of adding cole slaw to sandwiches. I usually do this, but did not with the turkey dip. I will be sure to do so next time. Have fun at Olvera Street!Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239828090303982584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-65480282240388689152011-04-20T02:57:23.011-04:002011-04-20T02:57:23.011-04:00I like it with a generous slather of the mustard t...I like it with a generous slather of the mustard to heat it up and a spoonful of cole slaw to cool it down. I'm almost embarrassed to say how long it's been since I've eaten there. But Elizabeth's sister is in town and we were talking about going to Olvera Street on Friday. Maybe a stop at Philippe's is in order.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-90475637495363661812011-04-19T20:47:14.450-04:002011-04-19T20:47:14.450-04:00I finally had my first turkey dip at Phillipe'...I finally had my first turkey dip at Phillipe's today. For the first half, I did what I always do with the beef and pork dips and went long on the mustard. It was good, but the mustard did not seem to meld with the turkey the way that it had with pork or beef. For the second half, I added pepper, but that was it. The second half was fantastic. You are right about the turkey dip, it exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the tip.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239828090303982584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-122709201508026662011-04-03T19:01:01.739-04:002011-04-03T19:01:01.739-04:00You were right, the Zankou tarna chicken wrap is F...You were right, the Zankou tarna chicken wrap is FANTASTIC! I will be going back very soon for another. Thanks so much for such a great tip!

I do love Langers as well, and we are WAY overdue for that, great reminder. We have yet to go to Porto Via, but will check it out as we hear good things. In all of the times I have been to Zankou, I have never had the chicken tarna wrap, just the plate, which was good, but a little too much on it's own. I bet the wrap would better balance the flavors. I will try that first based on your comments, and Michelle chiming in!<br /><br />Thanks again.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239828090303982584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-28055685774136824302011-03-31T13:09:31.443-04:002011-03-31T13:09:31.443-04:00I want that right now!I want that right now!Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-51675628707852802462011-03-31T12:37:42.861-04:002011-03-31T12:37:42.861-04:00Yikes, that's a difficult question; sandwiches...Yikes, that's a difficult question; sandwiches are about as personal as a favorite barbecue joint or kind of beer. But since you asked me I will do my best.<br /><br />When you say "local place," how local are we talking? Because the pastrami at Langer's and turkey dip at Philippe's are probably my two favorite sandwiches in L.A. <br /><br />Or are you talking about Pasadena only? (Although downtown L.A. is a lot closer to me time-wise at the moment than most areas in Pasadena, with all the street construction going on in town.)<br /><br />The Italian cold cut sandwich at the Roma Italian Deli on Lake is outstanding. Pasadena Sandwich Co. is good, though I suspect a large part of their popularity is the size of their sandwiches rather than their quality. I've had meatball sandwiches at Porta Via that made me smack the table, they were so delicious - but I've had just as many that left me underwhelmed. I'm in love with the Sycamore Melt at Tops at the moment, but that may just be because I only discovered it a couple months ago. <br /><br />Can we count the chicken tarna wrap at Zankou? If so, that's probably #1 in Pasadena for me.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-88220507580337271312011-03-31T11:55:19.540-04:002011-03-31T11:55:19.540-04:00Justin, where do you think the best local place is...Justin, where do you think the best local place is to get a sandwich? My wife and I go to the Munch Company a lot, which is "okay". We sometimes go to Pappa Don's, which is "okay" as well, although the owner, who is very well intended, is a little intense for us. I would love your feedback on what your favorite is. Thank you.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239828090303982584noreply@blogger.com
