Which has reluctantly driven us to sticking with half sours & coleslaw most of the time in LA delis. Incidentally, same challenge finding worthwhile kraut or pickled tomatoes. Potato salad at Bristol & Gelsons is somewhat similar to TJ's but more pricey & often not as fresh (sitting uncovered in deli case). Thu Jul 05 09:22:05 -0700 2007 2720356 12380 bernardo 4 2721945 When I'm short of time to make PS from scratch, I get one or two packages of TJ's and add two or three chopped hardboiled eggs per package, some chopped red onion, and a bit more mayonnaise, then adjust the salt. There are so few commercial potato salads that have the potatoes cooked exactly right, and TJ's is one of them...and their simple, unfussy seasoning suits my taste (and my ability to fake homemade!) perfectly. Agree that Bristol Farms is as good, maybe a bit better, but hard on the wallet. As for eating establishments, I think Pie'n'Burger has the best I've tried in the LA area. Rusty's Cafe up in Victorville has some that might even be better than mine, but not good enough to drive 75 miles for! Oh, and the Agoura Deli in Agoura Hills has another very good creamy one, perfect with pastrami. Thu Jul 05 13:29:58 -0700 2007 2721092 11478 Will Owen 2 2726040 DO they have a traditional potato salad? The roasted potato bacon I had was nasty, at least I didn't like it. I like their soups and sammies though.

Wed Jul 04 23:40:14 -0700 2007 2719865 93485 tatertotsrock 2 2721290 I like Larkin's as well, but don't you find it a bit too sweet? I think it needs a bit more dill or vinegar or something ...

I do like a good pickle-y-goodness. and it's been mostly on they pickle side when I've had it...hmm.

They do not always have it, but when they do, we buy it.

It's in the new little center across from Wal Mart, where the IHOP and Senor Pico are. It's really good. The chicken is good, too.
