A Guide To LA Restaurants Going Viral On TikTok Right Now - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Mamie makes a solid focaccia panini, but there’s no reason to wait in line for an hour on the weekend to get one. We like the sandwiches at Tre Mani and Bread Head even better, and the waits are much shorter. When Mamie opened in summer 2024, we were thrilled that LA’s focaccia sandwich craze had reached West Hollywood. The breezy, counter-service cafe at Fairfax and Santa Monica offers thick Roman-style pizza slices, various cold case salads, and tasty paninis that work for a quick lunch. The sandwiches are the biggest sellers here, made with imported meats and cheeses on buttery focaccia that crackles with every chomp. There are 18 varieties on the menu (including six vegetarian options) but for first-timers, we’d suggest the Monaco with tuna and Calabrian chiles, or the Cardinal with turkey, roasted tomato, melted comté, and artichoke cream." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nicolas zhou, cathy park
