The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Year, Mapped

"In September, Ggiata introduced gluten-free bread to its lineup of Jersey-style sandwiches, and already the gluten-intolerant crowds (myself included) are showing up. I visited the sunny new Venice Beach location at 83 Windward Avenue, just a skip from the ocean and the undulating bowls of the Venice Beach Skate Park. Perhaps one of the unsung sandwiches on the menu, the Masterpiece lives up to its name: Thinly shaved prosciutto blankets marinated eggplant, roasted red peppers, and plump tomato confit that glistens like stained glass. It’s then draped with sinewy stracciatella, arugula, and dressed with red wine vinaigrette. On Original Sunshine’s squishy gluten-free roll, the whole thing works.
