"Set in the heart of Lincoln Heights (and on the edge of Glassell Park), the Heights Deli & Bottle Shop is a local favorite for excellent sub sandwiches, natural wines by the bottle, and one of the best selections of canned beer in LA. Any sandwich off this menu is sure to be a hit, but the chicken Parm stands out from the pack with its crusty exterior and tender chicken cutlets. Served hot, the sandwich is filled with breaded chicken cutlets pounded thin and slathered with rich marinara sauce. Melted mozzarella cheese ties it all together, adding a pleasant saltiness to the acidic tomato sauce. It’s a classic chicken Parm in all the best ways, and doesn’t try to be anything that it’s not. And as a plus, the bread is just the right texture to avoid that mouth-slicing sensation that often comes with too-crusty loaves. On nice days, enjoy the sandwich on Lincoln Heights’ attached outdoor patio. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Mona Holmes
