A Multi-Meaty Sandwich from Factor’s Deli

Over at the Pico-Robertson area is Factor’s Deli, a Jewish-style deli with delivery!  Sometimes I wonder why more restaurants don’t deliver, but luckily I don’t need to wonder about that for Factor’s.

For some reason, I wasn’t in the mood for pastrami, so it took some time to figure out what I wanted to order.  Eventually, I found the multi-meaty sandwich to conquer my hunger.  This was the combination sandwich entitled No. 1, featuring turkey, corned beef and swiss cheese to ensure that it is un-Kosher.  It also had Russian dressing and was served on triple-layer rye bread.  As a bonus, it also came with a choice of two sides, so I chose the unhealthiest of all, fries and homemade chips.

About 45 minutes later, the meal was delivered.  I unpacked the brown bag excitedly, looking forward to my meatwich.  What I found was beyond my expectations, the sandwich was stacked gigantically with meat, so much so that it took at least two bites to take out a vertical chunk.  The only downside to the sandwich was that the corned beef was a bit fattier than I prefer.  I guess not everyone can deliver awesome lean corned beef like Deli Unique.

The side dishes were pretty good as well, and all the elements compounded into a meal that I couldn’t finish in one sitting.  At first the price tag of $15.95 seemed a bit pricey, but for a single meal that became two, I couldn’t complain.

Unvegan Top 20 for 2011

‘Tis the season for “Best of the Year” lists, so I thought I would join the party and put in my top 20 new restaurants from 2011.  By the way, this means the restaurants were new to me, not new to LA.  Please note that I am only including meals in the Los Angeles area.  As much as I loved the food on my travels, you can check any of those places out pretty quickly by clicking here.  So, without further caveat, here’s the best that 2011 had to offer for the unvegan:

20.  Cobras and Matadors

This tapas place in Mid-City is everything tapas should be.  From bacon-wrapped dates to a variety of cheeses, there is really something for anyone looking for a delicious meal.  Just beware, while tapas can be kept to a moderate price, when you throw a big group in with small plates, there are bound to be some people who don’t get their money’s worth.  But keep the group small and Cobras and Matadors will send you home full and happy.

19.  Steingarten

Dishing out delicious sausages, including a few of the exotic variety, Steingarten also offers up a pretty stellar beer selection.  If you’ve ever wanted to eat alligator in sausage form, Steingarten won’t disappoint, but they also serve a wider range of foods, including some pretty delicious burgers.  Their sausage execution, though, could use a bit of improvement, which pushed another sausage joint further up on the list.
