There’s not really a way around it – this is my favorite sandwich of all time.

Of every sandwich that made my “greatest hits” list, I think this one might actually be an all time favorite. While many of them are sentimentally reminiscent of a specific time or place in my life, this is just a damn good sandwich introduced to me by my BFF Annie, an LA resident of 15+ years with an impressive knowledge of the best spots to eat (just check out her grant project to create art for Culver City Arts based on local restaurants – phenomenal!).

the original Serenity Now! @ Monroe Place, Culver City CA!

Inspired by the original Serenity Now! Sandwich from Monroe Place in Culver City, this spicy, herby, veggie packed turkey sandwich with salty feta cheese on perfect focaccia bread is the kind of sandwich I would eat anytime, anywhere. Anytime I am lucky enough to be back in Los Angeles I make a pilgrimage to get the original, but have been happily recreating it at home and revving on my recipe since 2023.

I love this sandwich because it’s primarily delicious, but it’s also sneakily full of nutrients( #health) – a win, win in my book.
