I dined at Clementine’s in Palm Desert recently and they serve a delicious tuna salad on half an avocado. HEAVEN!

I was in Brea picking up something from a Craigslist seller a couple weekends back. She asked to meet at Starbucks. As I sat there waiting I noticed all the folks walking in and out of the sandwich shop next door called Which Wich. It was just after lunch and I had planned on driving home to make something for lunch; however the non-stop traffic of this shop intrigued me. I had to see what the hype was about. I walked in and got the skinny from the girl behind the counter. You basically chose your protein from a list on a wall board. Below it are rows of paper bags that you check all the goodness you want on your sandwich. You can have it on wheat, white, in a bowl, or Lettucewich. I went with the Sriracha Tuna sandwich and all the fixings on a 7″ small. It was less than $5.50. I ate half in the car in the parking lot and planned to save the other half for when I got home. That didn’t work. Ate the entire thing before I even got out of Brea. This place is clean, service is top knotch, and the sandwiches are plentiful, delicious, and fresh. YOU MUST TRY one near you. Check out the website for all their locations. http://www.whichwich.com/locations
