Los Angeles's Best New-School Sandwiches Are Hidden Inside This Koreatown Office Plaza
"Find Open Market, a neighborhood cafe and sandwich shop that serves inventive takes on nostalgic deli classics, tucked in the back of a concrete plaza in Koreatown. The market side of the shop sells natural wines, jars of Mejorado salsa from Burritos La Palma, locally made makgeolli (Korean rice wine), black truffle-flavored potato chips, and a small selection of home goods."
"The Normandie, named after the neighboring Koreatown street, is a tribute to Los Angeles classic Philipe's French dip. Creekstone Farms brisket gets layered on a chewy baguette with provolone, mustard mayonnaise, ginger pickled radish, and scallions; like its progenitor, au jus comes on the side. The Kenmore translates Korean tuna gimbap into a sandwich, with radish- and gim-studded tuna salad piled onto toasted, fluffy slices of brioche."
