pastrami at the hat

Sup guys, I'm currently enjoying my time in LA until I have to go back up north to begin my job search. Thanks for all of the comments about my graduation! I posted an outfit shot from that day on my Tumblr in case anyone is interested in seeing what I wore. Still getting used to not feeling pressured to finish a paper or study for an exam, it feels so strange! Maybe that's why this trip home feels especially relaxing. Aside from obligatory trips to In-N-Out and pho with my dad, I almost always stop by The Hat for lunch. I've been eating the same thing there since I was a kid: a classic pastrami sandwich and fries (although sometimes, if we're feeling wild, we order chili fries lol). Anyone else from the San Gabriel Valley? No matter how many miles away I am, I'll always consider it home.

Haha I grew up in Temple City (the Rosemead branch), so I know all about The Hat. I live in New York now, though, so this is a great blast from the past.

I guess I consider the SGV home still, but if my parents weren't still there, I doubt I would visit at all.

The Hat is my favorite, reminds me of high school. Chili cheese fries and a cherry coke!

Merv said...

Heck yes. I usually stop by the one in Glendora or Brea.. but I don't think I've ever gotten anything else except for the classic pastrami. Except I get onion rings :D

congrats on graduating....the "real world" is pretty awesome, and I must say that you will never have that feeling of missing, studying for a test or pulling an all nighter to finish up a project. Good luck on the job search!

Hey, just wondering, what restaurant do you go to for pho? I'm from SGV also, but skeptical of pho restaurants

Thanh said...

I've been so curious about that place. I still can't believe I haven't gone before. I love pastrami!

I need some food ,that pastrami looks incredible :x I know how it feels losing the pressure you had , but it's sometimes so calming. Try reading something or doing a project for your home , it will make the tranzit a little easier.

Kacey Sam said...

Have you ever tried Tops? I think it's in Pasadena somewhere. I've only been to the Hat in Alhambra :P and I think I'm much more of a fan of the chili cheese fries than the pastrami..

Loved The Hat ever since I was a little girl. We lived down the street from it in San Gabriel growing up, and then the Alhambra one when I was at SGHS.

Do you ever go to "The Stuffed Sandwich" - a favorite as well.

Unknown said...

Hat's chilli cheese fries! Your post is a good reminder for me to get some before my winter holiday is over.

josephine said...

agh looks so good. I'm waxing vegetarian lately, but my mom's from Alhambra and she has taken me to the Hat many times! haha

Gina N. said...

haha, i grew up/still live in the SGV and haven't been to the Hat in awhile. After club nights, we'd go there to eat their yummy chili fries.
Just started reading your blog and it's one of my faves!
