At The Grove, of all places — even non L.A. residents know that’s just pimping out.
Nevertheless, it’s been fun to follow along with the madness, which will continue through the weekend. Jon Favreau announced the pop-up on Instagram: “#eljefe pop up 7-11 at the Grove thru Monday #chefmovie”
And Roy Choi is loving it.

And we have to admit, those Cubano sandwiches do look pretty tasty.
And everyone is getting in on the fun, like Timothy Hollingsworth, Marcel Vigneron, and Chuck Voudouris (the personal chef for freaking Robert Downey Jr.).
Had such an amazing sandwich at @ChefTheFilm pop up restaurant #eljefe at @TheGroveLA !

Get on those Cubanos, people. (But early, because that shit won’t stick around for long.)
Thank you thank you thank you, Los Angeles!
