Nice light toast on the bun. The tomatoes are vivid and deep red! Ketchup on a 'dog? Brave, aren’t you?!?! I’m cool with it, but will the “no ketchup on a 'dog” trolls climb out from under the bridge?

AHEM: "Moral turpitude is a legal concept in the United States and some other countries that refers to “conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty or good morals.”
Just teasing 
I think the Dogs at Pinks are pretty good (with mustard of course) so who am I to talk.

Put me, Bourdain and the leader of the free world in that camp. This was from the Vietnam episode of Parts Unknown where Bourdain had noodles with Obama.
And while the leader of the free world is more than adequate as with a pair of chopsticks, he isn’t afraid to show his Chicago side, as is clear from the following exchange:
BOURDAIN: “IS KETCHUP ON A HOT DOG EVER ACCEPTABLE?”
OBAMA: “NO. NO, I MEAN THAT.”

based on this thread I tried the roast beef from Jersey Mike’s. While better than most roast beefs I’ve previously had, it still pales in comparison to the other subs for me. Maybe I’m just not a roast beef sandwich kinda guy…

That’s funny. Based on this thread I tried Jersey Mike’s Cheesesteak. I was at Lowes - Pico/San Vicente - and there it was just sitting, probably for years 
. I had the chicken and tried a bite of the beef (better). Good bread, thinly sliced chicken (no gristle), sautéed onions, sweet red bell peppers, shrooms, melty yellow American cheese. I really liked it. But one of the saltiest things I’ve eaten in a while… and I love salty.

Also I had Boo’s Cheesesteaks, “Wit Whiz”, slightly salty from the Whiz, but otherwise tasty. I like it better than Fig Cheesesteaks by the Coliseum/USC

You get around
Roast Beef Caliente - Thinly sliced, roasted top round w/avocado, pickled jalapeño, red onion, lettuce & mayo on toasted rustic bread (focaccia meets french roll)
Not a big beefeater. This delicious sandwich is only on their fall/winter menu. I always have to have one.

I was really hungry after running a bunch of errands in the South Bay today, so I thought I’d get a sandwich to go from Giuliano’s in Torrance. I’ve had decent sandwiches in the past from the location in Gardena. I ordered their vegetarian sandwich, which was $7.75. What I received was an abomination. It was a very tiny sandwich on a stale wheat bun with big hunks of unripe cucumbers, passable tomatoes, tired iceberg lettuce, and a single wafer-thin slice of Swiss cheese on each half. It was dry as all get out with a paltry schmear of avocado. Although the menu stated there was ranch dressing, it was not discernible. This was a sandwich purely made to maximize profits. And while I wasn’t expecting a wonderful sandwich, I figured it would at least be as good as Sorrento Italian Market (which I’m not a fan of), Mario’s, or Claro’s. Hell, a sandwich from Subway would have been better than this overpriced excuse of a sandwich. To make matters worse, my husband’s meatball sandwich didn’t have any marinara sauce.
After doing some sleuthing on Chowhound, I discovered that this location of Giuliano’s is no longer affiliated with the original location in Gardena. Blech, stay away from this place, folks.
Wow
I like Guiliano’s in Gardena. Thanks for the heads up on the Torrance location. I really like the spinach dip and torpedo.
Apparently there’s another rogue Giuliano’s in Redondo Beach, @A5KOBE.
*Facepalm I know, I know, @Chowseeker1999. Sadly, I was too hungry to drive to that part of the South Bay. I would’ve been so much better off having zaru soba with anago and vegetable tempura. Double drats.
