Hot Sammies in the City

While most parts of the United States enjoy a change of seasons for Fall, in L.A. we can rejoice in a change of sandwiches!

I had the pleasure of sampling some of the new Fall sandwiches that Mendocino Farms will be serving up this season, and I can assure diners we will be satisfied until winter!

Don’t let the 8 locations fool you, Mendocino Farms is far from a chain restaurant! Founder Mario del Pero and Executive Chef Judy Han have kept the local spirit alive by only using fresh ingredients from local farms. Case in point,  the Save Drake Farm’s Salad, named for Dr. Dan’s farm that was revitalized thanks to goat-cheese obsessed Mendocino Farms customers.

For Fall Mendo-lovers can enjoy the carnivorous side of things with a Smoked Turkey Romesco on Pretzel bread and a Peruvian Steak Sandwich on a torta bun as the seasonal specials. All the bread comes from Drago Bakery, the turkey is house smoked, and all sammies are made to order.

If meat isn’t your thing then I recommend the Vegan Banh Mi with Maggi marinated pressed tofu on a panini grilled ciabatta.

Lastly no midday Mendo would be complete without an accompanying deli side. And with 5 different varieties every day there’s no reason you can’t visit Mendocino Farms more than once a week!
