Infatuation Editorial Lead Brant Cox's 5 Favorite LA Restaurants Right now

"My explore page tells me I should be eating healthier this month, and to those accounts I say, “But Ugly Drum.” The pastrami specialist rose to fame over the last few years at Smorgasburg, but since the fall, has been operating out of Bludso’s BBQ on La Brea. There’s steep competition in this town when it comes to great pastrami, but let it be known, Ugly Drum is creeping closer to the esteemed pantheon. If it’s your first time, the Pit Smoked Pastrami Sandwich is an obvious choice, but don’t miss out on the rest of their menu either. Everything from potato salad to the Turkey Stack to the seasoned fries should be on your order. They also offer pastrami and “uglies” (pastrami burnt ends) by the pound - another obvious choice." - brant cox

Ugly Drum Review - Fairfax - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This pastrami specialist from chef Erik Black rose to fame over the last few years at Smorgasburg, but is currently operating Monday’s out of Cofax Coffee on Fairfax, plus nationwide delivery through Goldbelly. There’s steep competition in this town when it comes to great pastrami, but let it be known, Ugly Drum is creeping closer to the esteemed pantheon. If it’s your first time, the Pit Smoked Pastrami Sandwich is an obvious choice, which comes with smoky, half-inch thick cuts of pastrami, deli mustard, and bread courtesy of Bub & Grandma’s. That said, don’t miss out on the rest of their menu either - everything from coleslaw to the seasoned fries should be on your order, and if you’re feeding a big group, they sell pastrami and “uglies” (pastrami burnt ends) by the pound." - Brant Cox

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater LA

"Ugly Drum is the stuff that meaty dreams are made of. The place is known almost exclusively for its tender, smoky pastrami, cut thick and served in tall stacks to long Smorgasburg lines, but lately the group has been doing to-go and delivery service out of the Bludso’s space on La Brea." - Eater Staff

The best Pastrami sandwich I have ever had! Amazing bread, great delicious meat and great flavors. My new favorite sandwich spot

Everything was amazing, loved the pastrami, the bread, the pickle, the potato salad and the bloody mary! A little pricey for sides. I didnt mind the sandwich being pricey, but $5 for about 2 ounces of potato salad was disappointing

This place is legit! The Meat is amazing, the bread is amazing. It's the kind of place I kept wishing I could find in LA for years.

Super Smokey tender meat and the fries had a subtle sweetness to them. We shall return!
