"Maybe it was the Emily in Paris binge-watch, or just the cloudy weather, but I woke up this weekend craving something French-ish. With no real destination in mind, I hopped in the car and drove vaguely toward bakeries, before settling on Friends & Family in East Hollywood. By mid-day, the pastry case was down to just a few choices, but the sandwich selection hadn’t been depleted yet. Spotting just a few prosciutto baguettes left, I crossed my fingers that they would still be available by the time I got to the counter. Luckily, it seemed like I was the only one in line with prosciutto on the mind, and the sandwiches remained untouched until I got to the counter to pick up one for myself. I couldn’t resist adding in an espresso and whisking the sandwich outside to one of the bright orange tables on Hollywood Boulevard. It’s not quite a European street, but there was a charm to sitting outside and watching the cars drive by between bites of chewy baguette, creamy butter, and salty prosciutto. — Rebecca Roland, editor" - Eater Staff
