New Deli

The Food Network recently ran a show about the best sandwiches in America. In addition to the #19 at Langer's they featured the "Godmother" at Bay Cities Deli in Santa Monica.

I'd heard about, and driven by, Bay Cities for years but had never actually stopped in there. Today GeezBob and I decided to see what all the fuss is about.

It's a very simple set up -- a small grocery store with a deli counter inside, concrete block benches and tables outside.

But, boy, are the sandwiches good -- and cheap when you're used to paying Langer's prices. We both agreed it was the crunchy Italian roll that made Bay Cities worth the effort.
