Deli Is in the Top 10 Sandwich Shops in the U.S."},"content":{"rendered":"

Sandwiches are a natural summer food: prepared cold, picnic- and beach-ready and not requiring any silverware to devour. It\u2019s easy enough to throw together something at home, but a deli-made sandwich elevates the practice and lets you deliciously support a local business\u2014we\u2019re talking muffalettas, po\u2019boys, cheesesteaks and more. And according to a new Yelp ranking, Los Angeles is home to some of the best sammies in the whole country.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: The best sandwiches in Los Angeles for all your between-bread cravings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, with 14 stunning sandwiches, California as a whole had more than any other entries on Yelp’s list of top 100 sandwich shops<\/a> in the U.S., which relies on reviews from customers to highlight\u00a0the spots whose bread and fillings made hearts soar. (Second-place state Texas came close with 11.) And one of L.A.’s own snagged a coveted spot in the sandwich top ten.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coming in at number five is Huntington Park showstopper\u00a0WoodsDeli<\/a>. Owner Robert Valdez opened it three years ago and, at the time, it was the only deli within four miles that served \u201cclean and full of flavor\u201d food, he told Yelp. In this food desert, Valdez serves specialty sandwiches like the Saucy Turkey Pretzel (turkey, avocado and house-made chipotle sauce on a locally made soft pretzel bun) and the Italian Stallion (four kinds of meat, spicy pickled onion and a red bell pepper sauce).<\/p>\n

On the deli\u2019s website, Valdez mentions being inspired by Dagwood Bumstead, the sandwich-loving character in the cartoon Blondie\u2014the word \u201cwoods\u201d in the deli\u2019s name pays homage to him.<\/p>\n

Considering it part of the restaurant\u2019s mission, Valdez organizes giveaways of food and clothing and works with youth programs to get jobs for teens. For August\u2019s National Night Out, he provides free sandwiches. Plus, a scholarship is in the works for high school athletes. Another thing on the horizon? Merch!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the list, the top spot\u00a0belongs to Franky\u2019s Deli Warehouse in Hialeah, Florida with made-to-order deli sandwiches and warm greeting upon entry. Continuing the California bonafides is runner-up\u00a0Sierra Subs and Salads in Three Rivers, California\u2014in this bright yellow structure on the edge of the Kaweah River, patrons can enjoy muffalettas, manwiches, a \u201cwasabi stinger\u201d (grilled chicken with wasabi-sesame mayo), quesadillas and a huge selection of vegetarian sandwiches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And another Cali-based spot rounded things out:\u00a0Super Subs, a downtown Banning spot serving meatball subs, Chicago hot dogs, spicy Asian chicken sandwiches and more.<\/p>\n
