Which Wich

My cousin (who also happens to be my coworker) asked me to go out to lunch with him. He wanted to show me this place in Santa Ana that he just discovered. As you can see, it is next door to an L&L Hawaiian BBQ, so that leaves you with a tough decision when deciding where to eat. In any case, we were here so I could try Which Wich. So, that's where we went.

The concept is pretty interesting. You walk in to find a board listing the various meat catagories. Once you pick a meat group, you grab one of these bags.

At this point, you also grab a sharpie and mark on the bag all your customizations. I went with a Turkey pastrami sandwich... er, Turkey Pastrami "Wich". I had the "wich" on a wheat roll with provolone, deli mustard, carmelized onions, pickles, and pepperoncinis.

There are a couple good notes about their wiches. First of all, the rolls are toasted. That's always appreciated. The other thing is more subtle. So subtle, that I didn't notice till my cousin mentioned it. As you can see, they place the meats closely along the bread. Then, they load your wet toppings in the center. That way, you don't have a soggy sandwich. Oops, I mean "wich". The pastrami was great. I almost forgot it was turkey. The one downside is that they are on the small side. That could be good or bad. Do you want to be stuffed, or have just enough. If it's the latter, than this place is for you. Another bonus was that I noticed only females worked there. Not sure if its only this location, or if it happened to be a scheduling coincidence. But, I noticed.
