Sadly, itâs too late. Theyâve closed and will be reopening as ARC wood-fired pizzaâŚ
Thanks @OCSteve. I thought the semi-answer about them being closed was sketchy. Heck, and I was going tomorrow.
Wexlers Pastrami (OG)
There is NOTHING about this that I liked better than Brentâs.
It tasted more like BBQ (smoked) brisket. Big ole pass. Getting a âJewishâ Deli-style pastrami here is the equivalent of getting a real Italian pizza at Jerryâs deli (Yes, Jerrys used to have Jerryâs Famous Pizza)
Mustard was good. Next time Iâll get that and eat it with a spoon.

Smoked turkey sandwich from Wexlerâs Century City. There have been some complaints about the pastrami at this location, but I canât imagine anyone being disappointed by this moist, tender turkey. I was also reminded that the crisp Kaiser roll is totally the way to go at Wexlerâs.

Not a daily sandwich, at least not yet, but Chubby Rice just recently introduced a âBeef Roll Sandwichâ
Think your typical Taiwanese beef roll (a la 101 Noodle House) but instead of rolled into a burrito-like torpedo wrap using crispy pancake flatbreads, this is served in sandwich form using a Bolilo bun.
Good stuff. Like some Taiwanese ćŁĺŚš got together with a Spanish hombre. And left their condoms at home.

Eh not really⌠based on this post, I gave the place a try. The veggies = nowhere near fresh, and the bread is not crispy, airy but incredibly chewy and tough. Sort of ruins the entire experience. The other poster make it look really nice with a great skill in photo arrangement, but the real hoagie sadly doesnât really live up to how nice it looks in the photo. But it is pretty cheapâŚthereâs that aspect. However, Gjustaâs Italian sandwich is closer to a great hoagie and about 100x more flavorful (3x as expensive, too, though).
Cheesesteaks are also kind of hampered by far too much of the chewy bread.
Or, I donât know, maybe other people love super chewy bread in massive proportion to meat. No accounting for tasting. If youâre ever in Huntington Beach, Johnâs Philly Grille does hoagies that are the same style, but better in every way, though I wouldnât say they are destination worthy per se.
Italian Grinder from North Italia in Irvine. Not really a Grinder, and Iâve never had turkey on an Italian, but this was really tasty.

The answer for (ahem) âyour friendâ is simple: Yes, since 8:45am here is actually dinnertime in Italy!
