The Best Sandwich in the World!

Once upon a time I worked for a production company that would pay for my lunch--ev-ry-day.  The catch was you don't get to leave for lunch.  But believe me, the pro of a free lunch from usually really tasty restaurants totally outweighed the con of not being able to leave the office.  During that time, I was introduced to Bay Cities Deli.  It's a little Italian market and deli in Santa Monica that is always packed with people, and for good reason.  Their sandwiches are hands-down the best I have ever had in my life.  Certainly the best in this corner of California.  They have also been there since 1925, so they must be doing something right!

If you are living in LA, or just in town for the weekend, venture to the West side and get yourself a Bay Cities sandwich, because it's like L'Oréal says, "you're worth it!"  

As much as going to Bay Cities is a delight, it can also be a bit of a pain (you always have to wait.)  So the boy broke down the secret to their sandwich magic in order for us to make some at home (this is in regards to  my favorite sandwich, which is like admittedly the simplest sandwich in the world, but trust me, it's also delicious.) 

The Secret~

#1.  They use Boars Head Cracked Peppered Turkey 
#2.  The bread they use is amazing, fresh baked Italian rolls
So, buy the turkey, buy a roll from their market (or any decent bakery) and put that together.  Add red onion, crisp lettuce, olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegrette and you have my perfect, simple, and scrumptious turkey sandwich inspired by Bay Cities Deli.  Bon Appetit! 
This was the beginning of my assembly of the perfect sandwich for lunch.  Yum!
