On the subject of the sandwiches.... We had a little Italian eatery in the small center near my parents' house when we were growing up, and they made an excellent Italian beef sandwich. They closed just a few years ago after 40 years in business.

A Portillos's opened up in Buena Park, and they make a pretty good Italian Beef sandwich, dipped, undipped or juice on the side - your choice.
