I had already been to the sister restaurant of Parm, called Torrisi, where I had eaten two extremely memorable sandwiches for lunch. So I was happy to check out their newest venture, Parm, which is more on the casual side (sidebar-they actually have a newer one [...]...

I haven’t really spent much time there besides driving through on my way from Miami to L.A., so I didn’t know what to expect, food-wise at least. We’ve known our friends for about eight years, so I’ve been hearing about all of their hometown favorites [...]...
