Vegetarian Sandwich Shop B&T’s Deli Opens in Santa Monica | Eater LA
"Sandwich-loving Angelenos looking to eat more vegetables are in for a treat at B&T’s Deli, a new vegetarian sandwich shop that opened February 14 in Santa Monica. The takeout-only, 853-square-foot operation is run by Santa Monica residents Brittany and Terrence Caldwell, who launched the meatless deli because plant-based submarine sandwiches are hard to find in Los Angeles; they describe the concept as a mashup of neighboring deli Bay Cities (for the critical elements of a great deli) and Erewhon (for its trustworthiness). The menu avoids alternative meat products in favor of vegetables and familiar ingredients—think marinated artichokes instead of fake-meat imitations—with Brittany’s favorite, the Wanda (marinated eggplant), and Terrence’s Old Sport, a riff on the classic chicken salad sandwich. It’s located at 912 Montana Avenue and is open Tuesday–Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m." - Cathy Chaplin
