Sandwich King Dave’s Chillin & Grillin Makes New Home in Highland Park | Eater LA

"I'm happy to report that Eastside sandwich legend Dave’s Chillin’ and Grillin’ is back in action after being shuttered in Eagle Rock last year; they've set up shop in Highland Park inside the former Frank’s Camera building on Figueroa and could reopen as soon as mid-February. The ten-year-old eatery, long a Colorado Boulevard staple under owner Dave Evans, had been pushed out by rising rents and ran occasional setups at local farmers markets before finding this new home. Dave’s will take counter space around back as part of a joint operation with Chops Meat & Fish butcher shop — diners will enter around the corner and order from a counter and deli case dedicated to all things Dave’s while the rest of the room is kitted out with freshly butchered meats and various takeaway dry goods; the updated menu will include a weekly brisket sandwich using meat from Chops and otherwise offer much the same favorites as ever, from the rosemary turkey on down. It's a great comeback story for a beloved local institution." - Farley Elliott
