holy crap! maybe because i'm drunk as hell but man, california sandwiches makes an awesome leftover sandwich. i went here for the first time with co-workers and as austere as the surroundings may be (hell, i've rode my bike past here on many occasions without even noticing there was a food joint here), the food really hits the spot. it's like a bunch of people's nona's working in the back. the eggplant sandwich is huge! i just ate the other half after it had been sitting in my purse for a few hours and it still tastes good! just a little bit of nuking and voila! the sogginess disappears! seriously, if you're craving a coronary, this place is perfect!
