"Mamie, the five-month-old Italian sandwich shop in West Hollywood, offers a menu built on hand-made schiacciata bread. The owner, Mikael Choukroun, uses a traditional recipe from his Italian grandmother, resulting in a unique texture with a crunchy crust and light, chewy center. The venue operates like a European cafe and provides fine dining quality ingredients in a casual setting. Choukroun sources cured meats from D.O.P.-certified Italian producers and local farmers markets for vegetables, creating a variety of panini and pizzas. Mamie also features a coffee bar with Italian brews and a small market with Italian specialty products." - Andrew Watman
