Darn, it is just hard to find a decent sandwich anymore.

No, but sounds good to me. Two were in AR, one was OJs and the owner had cancer I believe, so he sold to an Asian couple. We went back, while visiting L.A. a few years later; they had gone down hill so bad, I would have rather had a Subway sandwich. The other Anthony's, also in Arcadia, I am pretty sure it too, is gone. The third was the Grinder in Altadena. But I am talking 40 years ago. They would have people lined up for a 1/2 block just to get a real Sub or Grinder sandwich. And then there was Sal's in the San F. valley. It too has been gone for years. When these dumb chains come in and offer sandwiches for $3 of course the good ole boys have serious competition.

If you are ever in Westminster, go to Banh Mi Che Cali. You get 3 banh mi sandwiches for $5. They bake their own bread, it's amazing.
