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.

Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check. Plan Check, by the way, is a sort of new (since February) restaurant in West LA with Chef Ernesto Uchimura of Umami Burger fame. As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
