An aside of an aside . . . where exactly is the hate for vegenaise coming from? I’m not getting it. Vegenaise and many store-bought mayonnaises taste roughly equivalent to me.
I mean, if you’re comparing vegenaise to homemade, then I get it. But Best Foods and vegenaise are equally good/gross, in my experience.

I know. I’m assuming they’re kidding or haven’t actually tried veganaise. It’s totally benign.
With veganaise?

I didn’t taste any lighter fluid, so it must’ve been the real stuff.

I had the LA Bird today from Wexler’s Santa Monica delivered via postmates. Delicious sandwich, but not nearly as much meat as @Bigmouth’s!

Guess I ordered wrong. I got the Kurobuta Pork from A Cut Above earlier this week and it was a bit too dry for me. I also saw folks next to me eating giant kale/brussel sprout salads topped with healthy portions of meat that looked delicious.

i prefer to head south into alhambra and get the $3 banh mi special of the day at lee’s on valley. but now i’m already on the south pas/alhambra border so it’s an easy call for a lunch for $3.

true, but their sandwiches w/tax are about $4.50 now. for the true toisan such as i, one must decide whether they are 150% better than a $3.00 banh mi from lee’s. granted, the amount of toisan-ness varies from moment to moment - earlier today i splurged on a piece of chutoro along with some scrap cuts at mitsuwa to make a very satisfying DIY chirashi bowl at home for dinner . for the most part, my posts address a constituency that includes the truly budget minded.

Rae’s BLT, which I really like because there is so, so much LT. I also like skinny bread, so I enjoyed this (with a knife and fork 
)
