Trencher

Just off a fairly foot-beaten stretch of Sunset Boulevard is a small shop named for the medieval, open-faced predecessor of the sandwich. A cozy dining room with a hipster vibe, Trencher is a purveyor of specialty sandwich inventions with novel ingredients, such as hot pureed parsnip served over brisket, or Portobello mushrooms with red peppers, onions and basil. Each sandwich is expertly composed and served alongside homemade potato chips or one of the kitchen’s scrumptious hot sides, including smashed potatoes, mac and cheese or buffalo cauliflower. Try the namesake sandwich, The Trencher, a mix of veggies, avocado, smoked salmon and hardboiled egg.
