"Just steps from the water, this Manhattan Beach offshoot of LA’s focaccia-sandwich stars turns out summer’s ultimate bite: a peak-season tomato BLT on salty, crackly bread that sits somewhere between focaccia and ciabatta. The BLT gets garlic mayo, iceberg, sliced tomato, and Nueske’s bacon, and pairs well with “picnic nachos” (a pint of house pimento cheese with Have’a chips) and an icy Arnold Palmer; go half-sandwich to stay under $25, or opt for the much-talked-about vegetarian build stacked with mozzarella and springy alfalfa sprouts. Must-try dishes: BLT, vegetarian sandwich." - Rebecca Roland
