ABOUT US

tren·cher noun \ˈtren-chər\ (from Old French tranchier; “to cut”) is a type of tableware, commonly used in medieval cuisine. During the Middle Ages, thick slabs of stale bread, called “trenchers” were used as plates. After a meal, the food-soaked trencher was often fed to dogs at the tables of the wealthy or to beggars, and eaten by diners in more modest circumstances. Trenchers were the precursors of open-face sandwiches.

Trencher, in Echo Park, is sandwiched between the lake of the same name and Dodger Stadium.

We’re an American, casual-style sandwich spot, with focus on experimental approaches to traditional staples.

We exemplify hard work, long nights, fun, pitfalls, and lots of food tasting. It’s the thrill of the process.
