Man I love the Pastrami Ruben from Big Belly Deli in Costa Mesa. Every chance I get I’m looking for an excuse to go there. I love that there’s not too much meat. I love the coleslaw. I love the dressing, but what I most love is the toasted bread. It’s perfectly toasted every time. This sandwich couldn’t handle the moisture of the coleslaw without the toasted crunch of the bread.

I sigh, smile, and feel like a little kid every time I bite into this sandwich.

PS: get the potato salad.
