Unfortunately, no…not neighborhoods I frequent. But added to my ever growing list of FTC approved dining.

I definitely love that turkey sandwich, had it once when they ran out of the Italian. Like you i was pretty surprised i liked it so much.

Hi @TheCookie,
Not really. It was in harmony with everything else. Just an incredible Sandwich (and it’s vegetarian). 
For a real Vegetable-based Sandwich (not fake meat), this is our 3rd favorite in the city right now! So good.

Oh nice. I’ll be downtown tomorrow day. A Wax Paper sandwich seems like the ticket. But curious, what are your 1st & 2nd favorites?

Hi @TheCookie,
Nice! Oh, my top 2 vegetarian (no fake meats)?
- #1 - Gjusta’s ridiculous Veggie Sandwich (scroll down a bit).
- #2 - Gjusta’s Falafel Sandwich (in the same link as above).
You should definitely try both of those! I know you’d like it. 
Hope you enjoy your visit to Wax Paper Chinatown (and get some Howlin’ Ray’s as well)!

Don’t forget if you are down there that endorphine os right across from Howling Rays any they do fantastic espresso. Also in the same plaza is Now Serving LA’s best and only cookbook store. The owner Ken is super nice

Thanks @Chowseeker1999 & @aaqjr !
Those Gjusta sandwiches look yummy. I love Falafel.
We’ll be downtown for work, so no HR for me. 
But last time we were at the plaza we enjoyed these at Endorffeine @aaqjr. Looking forward to checking out Cookbook shop!

Me too. I used to go all the time, I should make a revisit based on @Chowseeker1999 report. Not sure which location to go though as the original location is so much easier for me.
Hi @A5KOBE,
Well, since you’re on our FTC Gjusta Club Council, just know that Gjusta’s Italian is even better, so if that’s easier for you, just go there.

I liked it but I wasn’t wowed with it. Too much going on for my taste. I’ll need to research it again, in the name of science.

There are certainly so many good things at Gjusta, I don’t blame you. But definitely give their Italian a try at least once. 
Hope you like it.

Hi @A5KOBE,
Nani?! How could you not love it? 
(j/k) Maybe give it another try, along with a Prime Rib Butcher, a nice Smoked Fish Plate (Salmon Belly! Cold-Smoked Hamachi, maybe some beautiful Sardines), then get a slice of Carrot Cake or if they have the Pastel de Nata (Portuguese Egg Tart), one of those!
You know, the usual FTC Gjusta Club “starter” lunch.
Based on your review, I rushed down there for the Ophira Eisenberg. The ham indeed was moist and I loved the kick from the walnut crunch. The only problem was the baguette cut the roof of my mouth and I thought there was too much of the aioli, making it a bit too sweet. I solved the latter issue by squeezing out little globs of aioli on to my plate. I gobbled it down, but can still feel the tender spots on the roof of my mouth. My friend’s roast beef (Neda Ulaby) was great. The one bite of it she let me have, so cannot confirm nor deny that parts of it were chewy.
Had the absolute best maple almond cold brew soft serve for dessert. Would drive down just for that. The servers were really nice. They were doing gangbusters on their catering orders. We saw at least half a dozen platters go out just in the 30 minutes we were there.

Ahem…
You win! HR line was only 30 minutes! Who could resist that? Report to follow… after I wake from my food induced coma. Of all the glutinous ‘murican gluttony!
You win too @aaqjr!
…We were already caffeinated, so no Endorffeine today.
