Sandwich shop · San Diego

"This family-run sandwich shop around for more than 50 years and co-owner Dave Schutz, who started working at the store as a teenager, is often at the counter greeting customers and tourists. The most popular sandwiches are the turkey, jack cheese and avocado, and roasted pork loin topped with honey mustard. The shop is a few blocks away from the beach and a convenient stop for picking up sandwiches for a picnic or grabbing an affordable lunch after spending the day swimming or kayaking. There are flourless oatmeal-almond cookies for dessert and an array of retro candies for sale." - Marie Tutko
