Pete's Meats SFV made a pop-up appearance at a local brewery this past Saturday. The owner of the business was friendly and cheerful. He was proudly serving his meat specialty and was very excited to be there. At the time, he said he was only serving beef brisket and pulled pork? Anyways, I went with brisket since I originally wanted tri-trip. I chose the sandwich rather than the bowl. Sandwich does come alone so FYI, however, the sandwich was layered thick with lots of brisket meat. Juicy, tender, seasoned well and meat would easily fall apart with each bite. Overall the sandwich was very satisfying and did not leave me feeling heavy afterwards nor drowsy. I highly recommend for your next meat craving follow them on their social so as to know where they will pop up next.

We tried Pete's Meats at his popup at Naughty Pine in Westlake Village recently. Great guy, doing amazing BBQ! Brisket falls apart and melts in your mouth! Delicious. Great coleslaw with a Japanese twist. Highly recommend!

Caught Pete's Meats at Hop Merchants in North Hollywood - and SO glad we did! Pete is awesome, and the food is so yummy. We got the pulled pork bowl, potato salad, and brisket sandwich. Generous portions and so filling. Highly recommend! Thanks Pete!!

Stumbled upon Pete's Meats on yelp while searching my area for new restaurants. Checked out the website and the pictures looked great but they were professional, no yelp pictures. Decided to take a chance but then realized they were a pop up. Luckily they were at a bar today, so ventured out through traffic. They were setup behind a bar in the tiny parking lot. I could smell the bbq. Decided to go with the brisket plate 1/2 lb. Wife had the pork belly bowl. The owner was a super nice guy and offered me a sample of the brisket. Man was it good! Decided right there to bump it up to a pound. Ordered both the fatty and lean. Great choice by me. The brisket was some of the best brisket I have had! Better than the big names I have been to. Better than Slab, better than Bludsos, better than anything currently in the valley. So good! Lean was so moist and juicy and the fatty was perfect. Had rice and slaw for sides. Slaw was ok and the rice was fine. Wife said the pork belly bowl was good but she ended up eating my brisket. Couldn't blame her, it is that good! So happy to stumble upon Pete's. Will be back!

I've been coming here since the early 2000s, and after all these years it's still one of my go to…read morespots in Canoga Park for an Italian sub. Not much has changed inside, which is honestly part of what I like about it. Walking in always feels familiar. If you enter through the back you will pass the wall covered with old photos. And if you take a minute to look through them you might even spot someone you know. These days I keep my order simple with a large Famous Italian. While I'm waiting, I'll walk through the little market, check out what they have, grab something cold from the fridge, and maybe bring home some frozen pasta for a future dinner. The Famous Italian is my usual, but the hot pastrami and meatball sandwiches are also worth getting. The caprese salad is simple and fresh, and if I'm in the mood for something heavier, the hot lasagna always does the job. I've been coming here for over 20 years now and it's nice having a place that doesn't need to change.

Your neighborhood Italian deli, bakery and market all in one place!…read more Cavaretta's Italian Deli is an east coast style Italian deli that brings back a bit of nostalgia with old school vibes! They've been serving their loyal customers in the San Fernando Valley since 1959! Handmade meatballs and marinara sauce, that's simmered for 7 hours. Lasagna that's made from scratch daily. You can't beat their popular Italian Sub so of course we had to order that! Picked up a couple old school Italian sandwiches for our Hollywood Bowl show. Of course, we couldn't leave without their housemade Tiramisu and Carrot Cake Bar. Trust me, definitely worth it! Don't skip out on their cannolis and other desserts. There's a little market inside and seating. Perfect for a picnic or catering your next event!

I just discovered this place through Yelp, and the Donkey's Revenge is my new go-to salami…read moresandwich. The bread is perfect, and for me, the amount of salami and cheese are perfect, too. Some places pile on way too much, but this is perfection for me. Fast, friendly service, too.

The challenge was real, find a nearby local spot with decent submarine sandwich's. So I did what I…read morealways do, pull up Yelp. I was intrigued when I saw a spot that I had never heard of with a good yelp rating, I had to check it out. After reading a few of the reviews, and looking at the photographs I was sold. The Antidote delivery was close by, but let me tell you I had difficulty finding it. I want to make sure that others are aware of the challenge because it is definitely worth it. The issue is the signage. I was confident when I walked in and told Arthur, the gentleman behind the counter, that there was no sign, indicating Antidote Delivery, he politely corrected me. It turns out that next to the "market" sign there is an exclamation mark Which shows antidote delivery. My eyes went right over it and I never saw it, as a result I found myself circling around, trying to find the correct location. Once you find it, you may be hesitant to enter thinking that this is just a liquor store. In fact, this market has been here for 25 years and they prepare a fresh submarine sandwich that is delicious. So here is what you need to know upfront, the ambience is not desirable, so plan on a takeout. But if you're looking for a local business with a fresh delicious submarine sandwich, I would give this a try. Arthur was very kind to explain that they do deliveries within 5 miles for $2.99. So if you live within 5 miles you can order your sandwich and have it delivered. It's convenient because it's also a liquor store. You can order anything else at the same time and have that included for that nominal fee. It's always nice to support local places, this feels like a family business but I didn't ask so I'm not sure. One thing I'm certain of, I will be returning.

I've been coming to DeFranko's Submarines since I was a kid, usually with my dad or family, and…read moreit's still a must-visit every time we're back in California. Some places change over the years, but this spot continues to hit the same way it always has. The pastrami sandwich is phenomenal, and the turkey sandwich never misses. The fresh veggies, pickles, onions, and tomatoes paired with that sesame seed roll create the perfect bite every time. It's simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. The vibe is original, classic, and authentic; an old-school sandwich shop that feels like a piece of Valley history.... IFYKYK! The staff is always quick, friendly, and keeps things moving, making it a perfect lunch stop. A local favorite for decades, and after all these years, it's still one of mine.

DeFranko's has been on my "to-try" list for a while, but given the distance from my home, I've…read morenever made the trek. I'm actually glad I didn't go out of my way for it, as we only stopped by because we happened to be nearby at Lake Balboa Park. The shop itself is a tiny shack with fewer than six seats at the counter. While they have picnic benches out back, you have to head inside to order, which can get pretty cramped. To their credit, they do a good job of limiting the number of people inside at once, but I would recommend ordering to-go to avoid the tight squeeze. I tried their most popular items--the Italian and the Pastrami--and honestly, both were a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the chopped onions, pickles, and tomatoes, which reminded me of the sandwich shops back home in Boston, but there are definitely better Pastrami and Italian-style sandwiches available in the greater LA area. I'm happy I finally crossed this off my list, but I likely won't be making a special trip back.
