"The Olive Press is my favorite and sells at a number of LA farmers' markets—it is the best; they also have a wonderful Arbequina. (You don't need to buy Arbequina from Spain any longer.)" – ceasuala on a preferred source for California olive oils
"The sandwiches are pretty much like Grandma would have made you after a long morning working out in the yard, if you'd grown up in Wisconsin. Meats and cheeses, or prepared salads on soft white or brown or rye bread. I like them, though some of them get pricey. Still, for a great beer and a sandwich, it's hard to beat, and they're very, very Midwestern folks, full of common sense and a healthy disdain for prima donnaism." – Das Ubergeek on Hollingsheads Delicatessen
"Today I had a Kurobuta pork belly bahn mi at the Mendocino Farms sandwich market in Marina Del Rey. It was delicious, if not authentic. But it was certainly crunchy—they braise the pork first, then caramelize it and chop it up.” – phurstlove on Mendocino Farms
