Fundamental L.A.’s Sandwiches Are Small But Delicious
This might come as a shock to some, but I don’t love sandwiches. Wait. Scratch that. Who doesn’t love sandwiches? I love sandwiches. Of course I love sandwiches. But I will admit to being slightly prejudiced against sandwiches. I hold my lunchtime sandwiches to a higher standard. In other words, I expect more from my sandwiches than I do from… say… shitty Chinese food. You either have to be the very best at what you do (i.e. the chicken parm from Bay Cities), or you’ve got to be doing something really unique (I’m looking at you Mendocino Farms). Something that makes me look at the menu and think… ok, this is going to be different and awesome.
Fundamental L.A., the new sandwich shop on Westwood Blvd that replaced Alcazar Express, did just that to me last Monday. I don’t know if it was their sous vide egg topped BLT, or their house made porchetta that did the trick, but either way I found myself there last Thursday eating my way through half their menu. And it was so good, I went back on Friday.
