Bread, Meat, Cheese: Where To Get The Best Sandwiches in LA

Trencher, a small but mighty sandwich shop started by three LA friends, dishes out A-list sandwiches, specializing in Southern classics like fried chicken and slow-braised brisket. … a mean pulled pork made from rubbed and roasted pork shoulder, crunchy habañero slaw and a sweet Coca-Cola sauce layered inside a buttery brioche bun. This mouth-watering, finger-licking, southern-spiced treasure brings just enough heat, leaving you wanting seconds.

5 Brand-New Sandwiches In LA That’re Way Better Than Your Sad Lunch

Pulled Pork at Trencher: If your shop is named after the Middle Ages’ precursor to open-faced sandwiches, it’s pretty much a requirement that you get Medieval when it comes to putting meat on bread. Trencher does exactly that with this new, fluffy brioche bun packed with roasted and rubbed pork shoulder, spicy habanero slaw, and Coke-less cola sauce.

Trencher’s menu includes house-brined corned beef for Reubens, vegetarian bánh mì, pulled pork, fried chicken, BLT, club, an open-faced salmon sandwich and a grass-fed beef burger. Plus french fries, a few salads and seasonal specials, and freshly made condiments such as aioli.

Trencher Puts on the Sandwich Feed Bag in Echo Park

The homemade potato chips were delicious; we ordered nicely-cooked fries too just because. A kale salad balanced things out somewhat, though the deep-fried croutons added their own layer of decadence.

About Us

Background

Welcome to Trencher.

Join us, at our laid-back, simple space, to pay homage to the sandwich.

Together, Alex, Danny, and crew, create some stately chow; along with some experimental approaches to some of the traditional staples.

We also have some of the best home-made lemonade, an array of sugar cane sodas, live music and art installations by bona fide artists.

Trencher exemplifies hard work, long nights, fun, pitfalls, and lots of food tasting.
The thrill of the process.

Come over, give us a try, it’ll be a notable time.

Definition

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.
