The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Year, Mapped

"Calling something the best of any genre is a big claim, but I stand by my choice in naming Open Market’s Kenmore sandwich the best in Los Angeles. It’s a tuna sandwich unlike any other, imbuing the tuna salad with the flavor of gimbap, and sandwiching them between soft brioche reminiscent of slices of challah a Jewish deli would serve its sandwiches on. There must be at least a full inch of tuna between each plush slice of bread, dotted with seaweed and radish making it almost look like a pointillist painting from the right angle. The perilla on top is an unexpected addition but brings a green, earthy flavor, while a thick slice of cheese is the right type of fatty contrast. — Rebecca Roland, editor" - Eater Staff
