Jax, we’re coming over around two.
With Summer of Sandwiches.
Know what you want?
We’ll look it up during the drive.
Their website is confusing.
Why does that freeway sign say both “Drive Sober” and “Not Wrong Way”?
“Not Wrong Way”?
We’re supposed to get the tongue sandwich.
Don’t get me started about the brains.
They don’t have pictures of their menu.
What’s a kukusabzi?
Fresh herbs. Spices, eggs, salt & pepper – fried. Mustard, lettuce, tomato & pickles.
What’s a koobideh?
Minced beef, saffron, onions, spices, grilled basil, tomato & pickles only.
The bread is solid.
But these would be better without the bread.
Who wants fillings that are better without the bread?
Agreed, Jax and Kylie?
What? Don’t you even know all about koobideh?
This is Zach and he shoots things and wants to live until he’s 200.
Ricky really likes Stella. Who, like, like-likes Stella?
So that’s it, that’s the Godmother.
How is it, this so-called famous Godmother sandwich?
Would you say it’s overrated or underrated?
Perhaps appropriately rated?
Remember Sizemore in Point Break? My wife wants me to stay at Ramada!
And Tone Loc in Heat. All the way up it!
We should do a blog. A salad blog.
A Caesar salad blog.
Every picture would be the same.
You’d have to end at Caesar’s.
Sounds dangerous.
Better do it.
No, I know—chardonnay.
Ah, Summer of butter and oak.
Who even likes chardonnay?
Steve-O. Steve-O likes chardonnay.
I gotta say–I’m a little bummed we haven’t been named in the blog yet.
Oh. Oh my.
Everyone likes to be named.
Everyone loves it.
Everyone: Kylie Puckett and John Jackson have been on location for 3.5 post eatings.
“You should use portrait mode”—Kylie advice, weeks ago.
Thanks, Kylie!
At order.bcdeli.com, the prosciutto de Parma shows a caprese+prosciutto sandwich.
The sandwich doesn’t come with the caprese.
Oh well.
The color of that 4Runner is Lunar Rock not to be confused with Cement yes we have had much much time on our hands.
We keep sandwiches in ours.
The bread, for me, that’s the thing.
You like this bread? I love this bread.
This bread is merely fine.
and prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, Genoa salami and provolone and yellow mustard and shredduce and tomatoes and pickles and onions and Italian dressing and peppers.
Salties: nine.
Acidics: four.
Jax likes prosciutto but he really likes chimichangas.
El Segundo is so cute. It’s the cutest city in the city. So cute!
Should we go to El Segundo?
Maybe in a second.
First—Well? Well?
Vastly overrated.
