Standing Room; Now a Restaurant

I knew that the Standing Room in Redondo Beach was planning to open a real restaurant where you can relax and devour any of their fabulous sandwiches sooner or later. It opened in May of last year, 2014. I was just too busy to follow up......

My friend Cindy is the third person to sprain her ankle within the last 2 weeks. Then another friend just twisted her ankle the other day. Someone suggested I go ahead and wrap both ankles in preparation of a sprain! Cindy had it worse because she is currently in crutches. So, being good friends we naturally suggested we bring her dinner the other day. She lives close to the original Standing Room so it was decided we would pick up our dinner there and take it to her house.

Cindy wanted the Short Rib sandwich, better known as Shortie which I have had before and was very good; slow cooked braised short rib with spring mix & caramelized onion all stuffed in a pain de mie bread.  Sandi and I thought we would try the Dressed Hamburger which was a patty with bacon and Korean aioli, spring mix, caramelized onion, bleu cheese, smoked Gouda melted together topped with a fried egg and tomato jam. The other sandwich was one I am addicted to: the Oscar which is a soft shell crab sandwich with Thai crab mayonnaise and bubu arare balls, which was superb.  See previous blog: http://solittlethyme.blogspot.com/2014/02/standing-room-still-standing.html


It was pretty much a no-brainer to order the Truffle Parmesan Fries which was wonderful. We attacked those as we enjoyed devouring our sandwiches. All these we had with Champagne which wasn't bad at all.


Next time, when all the ankles have healed, we will have to take a trip and visit Standing Room in Hermosa Beach where we will be able to sit and eat.
