| - Oh man, I covet the veal sandwich. California Sandwiches never disappoints in providing me, hands down, the best veal on a bun I have ever had.
The mammoth of a sandwich is best consumed when you have not eaten anything all day. You really do need to prepare to ingest such a large sammy.
My preference is to get my sandwich with mushrooms and peppers. The super thin pieces of breaded veal are not greasy at all. It is like Nona is back there taking extra care of the veal, and her customers. The tomato sauce is light, not too heavy, and the kaiser rolls are always super fresh.
Now, the real skill when eating one of these sandwiches is, do not (I repeat), do not put the sandwich down once you have picked it up. Once you start the journey, there is no looking back, and there is no putting the sandwich down. If you put the sandwich down, because it is so big and luscious and saucy, you will never be able to pick it up again in one piece.
I would normally give California Sandwiches a 6 out of 5, but this location is so sad. Be sure to checkout some of the pictures that have been posted. The basement is a scene from a horror flick, and the area upstairs needs a reno so, so, so, so badly. Extremely bad use of space, and it is not inviting at all. If you want the full on experience, check out the California Sandwiches location in Downsview.
At any rate, whatever location you visit, the veal sandwich is superb. Actually just writing this, I am craving one right now. Even though this location gives me the creeps.
