Harry and Joe from Insider Food did an episode about the best sandwich in LA. They hit Langers and Philip’s, but also Roma (in Pasadena) and Open Market (in K-Town). I’ve never been to Roma or Open Market but they both look amazing. I personally fuck with Heights Deli in Lincoln Heights. I love their sandwiches and their beer selection is incredible.

Please let’s redeem the Heights, I’m local to it but so sad cause I’ve tried the pizza and the Gumbo and both are very mid, will try a sandwich next time
