As soon as I get off the Lomas Santa Fe exit on Solana Beach, I instantly have an urge to eat Jersey Mike's. That location is the busiest in the country and my favorite one to go to. I work across the street from the one in La Jolla but the this one is by far, the best one. I always get a mini #6 on wheat, with no cheese, Mike's Way of course. My favorite part of going in there in the consistency. I think that is the most important thing about a restaurant. Every time I go in there I see the three brothers hard at work and today I saw a fourth in there. I asked the older brother if they were in there everyday and he said "Yes, the last day we had off was the Chargers game." And he said that the last time he went back home to Jersey was the Chargers vs. Jets game. I really admire their passion and positive attitude whenever I walk in there. He said he grew up just 4 miles from the original Jersey Mike's and now there are over 700 across the country! It is crazy how fast it has grown but it still maintains a local feel with such fresh ingredients.
He was so nice and wanted us to get the true experience by letting us try some Tastykakes. He gave us the chocolate cupcakes that his mom used to pack for him in his lunch in the second grade. They are an authentic piece of the east coast that were pretty tasty :)
Thanks Jersey Mike's for another great lunch!
