LA Eats: LA’s Best Sandwich Shops
When it comes to a quick satisfying bite, you can never go wrong with the right sandwich. Since L.A. is full of great places to eat, there is definitely no shortage of tasty sandwich shops. That’s why we rounded up some of our go-to’s for this lunchtime favorite. Read our list of LA’s best sandwich shops with this edition of LA Eats!
-
Bay Cities – 1517 Lincoln Blvd., Santa Monica 90401
There isn’t a sandwich more synonymous with they city of Los Angeles than The Godmother at Bay Cities. That said, whether it’s a caprese or a turkey pastrami, this Italian deli is loaded with excellent sandwiches, and you need to try all of them.
-
ASAP Phorage- 303 Culver Blvd., Playa del Rey 90293
If you start thinking about ASAP Phorage’s washugyu beef pho the moment your plane begins its descent into LAX, we have that in common. But the real secret at this tiny Vietnamese shop in the back of a convenience store in Playa del Rey are the banh mi sandwiches.
-
Wax Paper – 2902 Knox Ave., Los Angeles 90039
Plain and simple, you won’t find a better top-to-bottom sandwich menu in LA than the one at Wax Paper. Located inside a shipping container next to the LA River in Frogtown, this tiny shop is nothing more than a counter and a side patio, but when the sandwiches taste this incredible, you don’t need any bells and whistles.
-
Philippe The Original- 1001 N. Alameda St., Los Angeles 90012
Open since 1908, Philippe is one of the oldest restaurants in the entire city and – as its name implies – is the home of the original French dip sandwich (though the folks at Cole’s would beg to differ). Add the house mustard that sits on every table and you’ve got one of the most iconic sandwiches in LA.
-
The Oaks Gourmet Market- 1915 N. Bronson Ave., Los Angeles
Situated amongst the screeching improv actors and Scientology centers of Franklin Village, Oaks Gourmet is one of our favorite spots for a quick lunch in Hollywood. While this order-at-the-counter market/cafe is best known for their burger, their sandwiches are almost as good.
-
Gjusta- 320 Sunset Ave., Venice 90291
Let’s cut to the chase – this Venice bakery is a chaotic mob scene nearly every day of the week, and if they had Xanax on their menu, we’d order it. Whether it’s the bialy egg breakfast sandwich, the tuna conserva, or the porchetta melt, these are easily our favorite sandwiches in Venice, and Gjusta is an essential pit stop after a day at the beach.
-
Larchmont Wine and Cheese- 223 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles 90004
When you first walk into Larchmont Wine and Cheese, you’ll wonder why you’re standing in the middle of a fancy wine shop. Don’t worry – you’re here for the tiny sandwich counter in the back.
-
Jackson Market and Deli- 4065 Jackson Ave., Culver City 90232
Culver City is full of neighborhood restaurants, but nothing quite matches the atmosphere of Jackson Market. This grocery and deli is located on an entirely residential street, and if you didn’t look closely you’d probably assume it was just another house on the block.
-
John’s Garden- 3835 Cross Creek Rd., Malibu 90265
It’s easy to assume the Pier is the center of all things Malibu, but one trip over to the Country Mart will prove you wrong. Lines get long during peak weekend hours, but if you’re looking for some post-hike nourishment, John’s is where you go.
-
Wexler’s Deli- 616 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica 90401
Wexler’s Deli started as a tiny stall in Grand Central Market and has since expanded to include locations in Santa Monica, DTLA, Century City, and Palm Springs. Regardless of which location you end up at, know you’re going to be getting tremendous Jewish deli-style sandwiches.

Home Tips – 6 Affordable Renovations That Will Increase the Value of Your Home
Selling your home can be an emotionally difficult process—not only are you parting with a place that holds so many memories, but you’re also hoping that someone loves it as much as you do. The goal is to turn your home into a blank slate so that prospective buyers can see what their own vision would look like. But you don’t have to make big, expensive changes to your home in order to sell it at a higher price. That is why we’ve selected a few tips to make the home reno process as easy as a summer day.
-
Soften the Front Yard with Landscaping
Some simple updates to your current landscaping can make a house seem so much more inviting. Native grasses, wildflowers, and herbs can be a welcome change to the archetypal lawns that require so much upkeep. Opt for dark soil that will foster that soft, earthy aesthetic instead of red mulch which looks “big and bricky.”
-
Make the Foyer Take Their Breath Away
Whatever you see when you first walk in the door should be impeccable. The foyer is like the introduction to the home so you want it to represent the style or mood that translates throughout the rest of it. Shelton recommends schoolhouse-style sconces or pendants with matte finishes.
-
Establish Continuity Between Rooms
Moving through rooms with different features or styles can be disorienting, so reduce the variety as much as possible. In order to ease the transition, try ripping out old carpeting and replacing it with jute rugs so that it matches the foyer and feels more intentional.
-
Pay Attention to the Details
Weighty doorknobs and sleek faucets will appeal to their sense of touch as well as their eyes. For the same reason, consider replacing plastic wall plates with something made of wood or metal.
-
Neutralize the Space with White Paint and Transitional Design
Personal touches are what make a house a home, but they can disrupt the buyer’s vision of what theirs would look like. Installing decorative paneling is also surprisingly cheap and simple to install.
-
Make Temporary Changes to Foster Ideas
While you don’t want to go too crazy with ornamentation, adding subtle details can help spark the imagination of prospective buyers. Peel-and-stick vinyl tiles are inexpensive and easy to install within a matter of hours. You can use them to add a backsplash to the kitchen or to give a bathroom some layers, and simple to remove if the buyer is planning their own remodel.

Adrienne Tourtelot Gives Kitchen Reno Advice to Mansion Global
Rodeo Realty’s Adrienne Tourtelot speaks about renovating your kitchen before it hit the market to Mansion Global.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (August 16, 2019)-Earlier this month, Adrienne Tourtelot chatted with Mansion Global about useful advice homeowners thinking to sell should know. When it comes to renovating their kitchen pre-sale, there are a number of factors that come into play. This is why the editors at Mansion Global sought out top agents like Adrienne for this informative feature.
Adrienne along with a select few other agents shared their thoughts on the do or don’t of kitchen remodeling. What was a stand out statement they could all agree on is that remodeling offers the highest recoup but should not be a major overhaul.
“Kitchens and baths offer the highest recouping value, at least in the luxury space out here in Los Angeles,” Adrienne said. Stating that often times sellers will opt for a full redo that buyers often end up redoing themselves. The way to avoid this is a focus on space rather than style. “Buyers are looking for things like open concept, so removing a non-load bearing wall from the kitchen and dining space can offer huge value and low cost.”
The full article provided a range of advice and ideas for those looking to conquer the kitchen renovation feat. It is clear when it comes to selling your home, taking advice from experts like Adrienne offers the largest return. Much like a thoughtfully redone kitchen.

Nicole Nash of Rodeo Realty represented the buyer and seller for Sony Co-President’s Hollywood Condo.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif (August 16, 2019)- Earlier this month Nicole Nash accomplished a double win in the real estate category. Representing both the buyer and the seller, she closed sale on stylish Hollywood condo. The three-bedroom abode belonged to co-president of Sony Pictures, Jason Clodfelter and sold in about three weeks of hitting the market.
The listing received press during and after the sale with the LA Times reporting on the closed deal. Used as an investment property by Clodfelter, the home received well over several offers after being listed in June. One look at the updated unit and it’s no wonder, it was a hot ticket on the market.
The home has 1,510 square feet of living space and features an open floor plan and updated kitchen. The master suite boost a large walk-in closet with custom shelving and the dining area opens to a serene balcony space.
Another impressive note, is that the listing sold for $46,00 more than the original asking price. The closing deal was $795,000 which is amazing considering the median range for the area.

Back 2 School: Tips and Tricks
To set yourself up for a successful school year, establish some standards and guidelines to follow through the entire year. A great plan may start with a simple conversation which will lead to clear family communication, and could include tools like checklists, which will help you stay on track and prepare for any situation.
Establish a morning routine
Figure out how much time you need everyday to get dressed, do your makeup, eat breakfast, etc. That way, you will know exactly when to wake up, if you’re truly an early bird try to sneak in a work out, or keep it low key with a walk in the park.
Start Your Day with a Healthy Breakfast
Kick off your morning with a healthy breakfast that will keep you going throughout the day. Try an omelet, or oatmeal topped with some fruit. Something that will fill you up and fuel you up at the same time.
Set Goals
Protip: Save the easiest task for last
Make a list of your goals before the school year gets started so you can keep checking back to see how your progress is going. When work piles up, figure out the hardest thing, then tackle it first while you’re focused. Once it’s off your plate, you’ll breeze through the rest.
Rest Up
As fun as it seems to scroll through Instagram at all hours of the night, you’re going to regret it the next morning. Start your year off feeling rested and ready to conquer everything thanks to a good night sleep.
Get a Cute Backpack & Organize it
You will use your backpack every day, so find a bag that totally fits your personality and you might even be excited to lug it around all day. An organized backpack will make it so much easier to grab what you’re looking for.
Organize Your Closet
Organizing your closet will make getting dressed in the morning so much easier. Plus, the start of the school year is the perfect time to get rid of anything that’s too small, ruined, or you never wear.
De-Clutter Your Room
When all the stuff you no longer use is all gone, you’ll have a place for everything, and when you’re not worried about finding what you need, your brain will feel clearer too.
Organize Your Planner / Start a Bullet Journal
One of the best parts about organizing is getting a new planner. If you haven’t jumped on the bullet journal craze, now is the perfect time. A bullet journal is a fun way to stay organized this year and track your goals. There’s something about a new notebook — all the potential in those unwritten pages — that makes it exciting to write.
Keep Track of Your Favorite Motivational Quotes
Write your favorite quotes in all your notebooks, so every time you crack one open, you’ll get inspired.
Write Things Down
Do a brain dump. Take two minutes each morning to get all your thoughts on paper. Put down everything you want to do for the day. Once it’s all out of your head, it’s easier to tell what your biggest goals are for the day and prioritize from there. It’s a great way to de-stress and make the day look less intimidating.
Find Ways to Chill Out
Stress is an inevitable part of school. But you can make it more manageable by finding some stress-relieving activities you enjoy, whether that’s watching your fave rom-coms with your besties or going for a run.
Pay Attention to the Positive
We know it can be super hard, but make a pact to focus on the positive this year and tune out the haters.
LA Eats: The Best Food Trucks in L.A.
Whether you’re craving a morning nosh or lunchtime reprieve, these food trucks are sure to satisfy. With LA having a bounty of delicious meals on wheels throughout the city, we tracked down some notable favs. So save your appetite for the best food trucks in L.A.! Your tastebuds will thank you later!!
Kogi BBQ
Various locations
Roy Choi’s Kogi truck is almost undisputedly the leader of the Twitter food truck revolution in LA. Still an absolute powerhouse of creative fusion cooking, his culinary masterpieces lead to the nationwide trend of wrapping, like, everything in a corn tortilla.
Where to find it: From West LA to Whittier, Kogi goes everywhere. Keep an eye on its stops here.
Prince of Venice
Santa Monica
No, seriously, this pasta-heavy truck is indeed owned by a real-life royalty. The dapper Prince Emanuele Filiberto, grandson of grandson of Umberto II, the last guy to ever serve as King of Italy. Filiberto’s idea was to combine Italian imports like flour, olive oil, and truffles with locally sourced California ingredients to create housemade noodles and rustic sauces and then sell it all out of a truck… as princes so often do. The result is excellent fresh pasta dishes like bucatini all’amatriciana, and orecchiette in an almond-spiked pesto, along with take-home jars of vibrant Bolognese.
Where to find it: Usually on the Westside, but sometimes LACMA or elsewhere; check the weekly schedule before heading out.
Jogasaki Sushi Burrito
Various locations
The self-proclaimed “Home of the Original Sushi Burrito,” and deservedly so. The massive rolls are like amazing poke bowls minus the chopsticks. Grab a Spicy Salmon Delight, with spicy salmon, avocado, and cucumber wrapped with sushi rice and soy paper. The Spicy Tuna Nachos are actually spicy tuna and avocado on a bed of Doritos (yup) with eel sauce.
Where to find it: Another truck that’s always on the move, you’ll want to check Jogasaki’s schedule ahead of time.
Mandoline Grill
Various locations
The long-running Mandoline’s bánh mì are some of the best truck bites in the city, with choices of tasty grilled pork, Hawaiian BBQ chicken, or lemongrass tofu. You can also pop any of those proteins in a taco, a bun, or even on top of tortilla chips, with scallions, jalapeño, mint, cilantro, and Sriracha aioli for some Vietnamese nacho action.
Where to find it: Office-heavy areas like Burbank and Century City at lunch, and special events like the Eat|See|Hear outdoor movie nights for dinner. Check the schedule for specifics.
Mariscos Jalisco
Boyle Heights
The long-serving, Gold-beloved Mariscos Jalisco is an unassuming Boyle Heights-based seafood truck that sneakily serves up some of the best Mexican seafood in all of LA (and opened its first restaurant in Pomona last year). MJ’s tostadas, shrimp tacos, and ceviches are now the stuff of legend, thanks to a fiercely loyal following and nearly unbeatable prices. It’s best known for its decadent deep-fried shrimp tacos but you cannot leave without getting the Poseidon tostada – a smorgasbord of offerings including the glossy shrimp aguachile, citrus-heavy ceviche, and meaty chunks of octopus along with somehow-always-perfect avocado and cucumber all atop a crisped-up corn tortilla.
Where to find it: 3040 E Olympic Blvd, 9am to 6pm daily
Let’s Be Frank
Culver City
Sue Moore, one of the geniuses behind Let’s Be Frank, used to be the meat forager at Chez Panisse. If that’s not enough to convince you that this next-level hot dog cart (OK it’s not a truck, but whatever, it’d be wrong not to include it) is worth your time, then we don’t know what is. The meat is family farmed, humanely raised, much cleaner, and just as delicious as your typical street meat.
Where to find it: Helms Bakery Complex from 11:30am to 3:30pm, Saturdays and Sundays only
The Lobos Truck
Various locations
Lobos’ waffle fry nachos are among the best in LA, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have more to offer. If you’re not getting all up in said nachos, you can also get all up in one of their monster burgers (like the Big Lobo, with two Angus patties, Cheddar, Jack, a fried egg, guac, and tomato on brioche), some fresh salads, or some Spicy Mac (mac & cheese with completely homemade, completely kickass Diablo sauce). And do we even need to tell you to finish it off with a salted caramel bacon brownie? We don’t, right? We don’t.
Where to find it: Lobos is mainly booked via private events, so you’ll need to contact the crew.
Leo’s Taco Truck
Various locations
You’ll love anything you get from this taco institution, but you probably won’t love anything more than the al pastor that’s made Leo’s such a fan favorite. You’ll see it getting sliced from the trompo, a huge, vertical gas grill. Served with pineapple, it’s truly one of the tastiest tacos in the city — and at $1, one of the cheapest as well.
Where to find it: With eight trucks open until the wee hours, you’ll be able to easily score a taco when you need it.
Dinas Dumpling
Various locations
The eye-catching pink truck offers a gloriously streamlined menu of five types of multi-hued Chinese scratch-made dumplings daily. These include beet-red beef, a carrot-orange chicken variety, and mushroom-and-tofu dumplings made of spinach-spiked dough. While it used to be mainly Pasadena-based, you can now catch Dinas rolling through Hollywood, Culver City, Burbank, and beyond.
Where to find it: Often outside big offices like Cartoon Network in Burbank or feeding the Silicon Beach set in Playa Vista. Also at NoHo’s Vegan Sunday fest. Check the truck’s Twitter page for the latest locations, or view the projected schedule here.
Merci Clement Truck
Various locations
What’s better than velvety gelato on a scorching summer-in-LA day? When said gelato comes on a stick, of course. The truck of treats (which now operates a brick-and-mortar outpost in Santa Monica) offers straight-laced flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut in addition to swirled varietals of strawberry cheesecake and tiramisu and artsy popsicles dipped in flavored praline crunch or chocolate-spiked graham crackers. Non-dairy types can also get in on the action with vegan sorbet sticks, all on display in the gleaming glass case.
Where to find it: Frequently wheeling and dealing in front Little Tokyo’s Japanese Village Plaza, though they don’t seem to give much of a heads up on social media.
Ricky’s Fish Tacos
Los Feliz
If you want to make a living selling Baja-style fish tacos, it certainly helps to be born in raised in the seaside town of Ensenada, as owner Ricky Piña was. His fish and shrimp tacos (the only two types the truck typically offers) are some of the best in the city, and that light-and-crunchy batter is a big part of what makes them so dreamy, done up with classic crema, pico de gallo, and cabbage on a white corn tortilla. You can take down these tacos five days a week under the Hyperion overpass.
Where to find it: 3201 Riverside Drive, Wednesday through Sunday afternoons.
The Rooster
Venice, Mar Vista
If it’s your first time, you’ll want to go straight for the Rico Suave: a hefty flour tortilla loaded with greasy-crunchy Tater Tots tasty ingredients like bacon, a Cheddar-cotija blend, over-medium egg. You could also do an avocado brioche toast, bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on ciabatta, or an egg-topped wagyu burger.
Where to find it: Weekends only. Out front of Blue Bottle Coffee on Abbot Kinney in Venice on Saturdays from 7:30am to 2:30pm, and on Sundays at the Mar Vista Farmers Market from 9am to 2pm.
Steamy Bun Truck
Various locations
If you stuff it they will come sounds like the perfect motto for this popular bun truck. Filling its puffy steamed dough with everything from traditional pork belly to a soy-and-hoisin-infused angus burger patty, can we say yum! You can also load up on sides of shrimp chips, egg rolls, chicken empanadas, and the Footine fries piled with Japanese beef curry, gravy, sour cream, and Sriracha. Good God.
Where to find it: At the Hollywood Night Market on Thursday evenings, Abbot Kinney First Fridays, and other festivals and events. Keep an eye on the truck on Twitter.
Bad Chkn
DTLA/Glendale
Opened by three culinary school pals, Bad Chkn now parks in front of a body shop in Glendale most nights. If you want to skip the sandwich, try the Cheddar-and-chive-grits poppers served with beer-battered shrimp and tossed in the same super hot sauce. They’ve also got wings, loaded crinkle-cut fries, and fancy truffle upgrades. Is it a crazy idea to launch a first-time food truck in 2019? These guys are gonna find out.
Where to find it: Monday through Friday, 10:30am to 2pm at 1933 S Broadway, Downtown LA, and 6:30pm to 10pm at 801 S Chevy Chase Drive, Glendale.
Out & About: Hollywood Bowl
One of the most enjoyable of summer rituals is relaxing under the stars while music fills the Hollywood Bowl! Since its opening in 1922, the Hollywood Bowl has been the premier destination for live music in Southern California, hosting everyone from Billie Holiday to The Beatles to Yo-Yo Ma under the iconic silhouette of its concentric-arched band shell.
