I have no idea how "as the name implies" relates to California. I was expecting a healthy sandwich shop, and instead I stepped into a 80's Italian joint, complete with gut bomb sandwiches. The sandwiches here are huge, bready, sloppy and lacking flavor. Severely missing salt, at least with whatever I had. Sorry my Canadian friends, I know this is a Toronto institution and all, but I just don't get it...mediocre sandwiches at best. It's clearly popular though, as I showed up at lunch time and the line was a good 20 people deep...but don't let that scare you; if you made it this far, stick around, as the line moves quickly.
