Calf & Chick - Torrance

Sh*t, these sandwiches! Sub-size and sub-style, these carefully-crafted creations are crazy-good.



Check out the cheese in the Hot Grilled Beef. They add onion and green pepper, and the shredded beef is all juice. It channels a cheesesteak except they make the meat like they care. 



Try the Chicken Garlic if you’re looking for something whiter because that garlic paste does not make it lighter. It’s a balanced sandwich overall, but it’s the pickles that leave an impression. I've never had such crunchy, fresh-tasting pickles, and the brine has a unique tartness that is simultaneously more sour and less acidic. Great sandwich; I'll just take a jar of pickles.



Grab an Egg Sandwich for a breakfast plate between two slices of bread. All three eggs are over medium so the yolks ooze gooey without the mess. Turkey bacon tastes like hot ham, tomato adds the acid.


It’s not all about the size, but their Cinnamon Roll is far from compensating. Its feather-light layers encase a cavern of sugared cinnamon topped with a graze of glaze. Easily the best I’ve had this year.

Take a scavenger hunt for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Calf and Chick is concealed behind a Wendy’s with a drive-thru, but believe me, they're worth getting out of your car for.
