Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: March 24 | Eater LA

"In 2025 the reviewer sampled an outstanding sandwich at a Highland Park plant-based butcher and deli that opened in 2022 on a busy stretch of York Boulevard and has remained busy despite a tough few years for restaurants. A bite into its Gouda and steak sandwich exemplifies why it’s a solid spot for a sandwich: the flavors are savory and wonderfully seasoned. Although the soy-based meat “doesn’t taste like steak,” the cheese maintains Gouda’s signature smokiness, and the hot sandwich on ciabatta bread left the reviewer saying they “didn’t miss any meat or cheese.” The piece emphasizes that substitute-meat vegan spots can surprise, and this one does. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
