Sandwiches abound in Los Angeles. It's home to the French dip originator (whether Philippe's or Cole's — they both claim the title is theirs) and what might be the best pastrami sandwiches in the world (Langer's No. 19, right?). It's headquarters for TikTok's king of sandwiches and a nexus for trend setters, from Italian schiacciata specialists to retro-sando revivalists. There's no better city to live in for sandwich lovers.

Explore the new and old (and the hot and cold) with a guide to L.A. Times Food staff's favorite sandwiches, plus primers on the best Italian subs and tuna melts, where to find Chicago-style Italian beef sandos and recipes from L.A. chefs.
