Bagged Lunch Never Looked So Good.

The Return of the Sack Lunch
Ah, second grade: corporate takeovers in the cafeteria, discreet playground dates and Wood Oven-Roasted Pork Cheek Sandwiches in your sack lunch. Okay, maybe not. But now, many of your favorite daytimes stops are making it possible with impressive new takes on the classic bagged lunch. Just like mom never used to make.
UD - Ammo

Stocking Up on Ammo
For $14, Ammo's new Brown Bag Lunch includes choice of salad or sandwich (maybe a Roasted Jidori Chicken With Olive Tapenade), iced tea or soda, and a cookie. Call them up and they'll bring it to you curbside.

UD - The Deli at Little Dom's

Post-Meatball Party
If you're still hungover from that wild meatball-sub blowout and just need something grab-and-go, come on back to the deli at Little Dom's for a bag. For $12, you can fill it with a sandwich (Wood Oven-Roasted Pork Cheek, perhaps), side (Salami, Provolone and Olives) and Zapp's chips.

UD - FIG

From beer-soaked brunch to oversize Fig Newtons, this Westside enclave has had you covered on all fronts—except for the brown-bag scenario. Until now. Call them up for a BLT or Merguez en Baguette to go.

UD - Locali

Staying Locali
And over at the earth-minded convenience store of the future , $10.95 will get you a bag with one of Locali's world-saving sandwiches—maybe the Rosso Bianco, with vegan pepperoni on locally made artisan pizza bread—and a side like Teriyaki Tofu or Southwestern Quinoa.

Locali, 5825 Franklin Ave, Franklin Village, 323-466-1360

UD - Tamarind Ave Deli

Sunset-Gower Power
Before you head back to the studio lot, the owner of the Bowery and Delancey has a famed brisket sandwich for you at his latest joint, Tamarind Ave Deli. Fill out the white bag with chips and a thirst-quenching Sioux City Sarsaparilla, but make sure to finish the chips before cameras start rolling again.

Tamarind Ave Deli, 1471 Tamarind Ave (S. of Sunset), Hollywood, 323-960-2451
