Cathy's Deli


The next couple weeks are going to be busy for me. I've been spending quite a bit to time up in the Santa Clarita area lately. Getting to know the place. It's like becoming my new "hood." Sort of, but not really. You see...I'm filming a project up there in the next few weeks, so my posts may become a little sporadic as I become more involved in the pre-production preparations. My head is everywhere right now trying to get the details done. Crossing them T's and dotting those I's.

It's actually a project I've been planning to do for a while, so...I'm glad to finally get in done. During my location trip yesterday, a friend of mine suggested this little deli.

Located in a tiny strip mall like complex. 


The place isn't too big. Not too busy either, which suited us fine. It's got a deli/mom and pop restaurant feel to it.


We both order the french dip sandwich. Almost looked like a philly cheese steak in appearance. It came with some au jus sauce and your choice of french fries, cole slaw and a couple other choices that I forgot. I took the french fries. It also came with a pickle spear. As you can see, I was nearly half way done with my sandwich until I remember to take a picture of it. Hunger plus a tasty sandwich equals forgetfulness. Or maybe it's because i have too much going on in my noggin right now. HA! Either way I downed that sandwich. I like that you get the sauce on the side, that way you can make your own perfect sauce to bread ratio.

  12. I love a good French dip -- been years since I've had one! I used to get them at Coco's when I was younger. I can't imagine I'd find theirs all that appealing now, but I good one like this I could definitely sink my teeth in!
