After eight years at its Kaimuki location, E.A.R.L. — an acronym for Eat A Real Lunch — moved to Market City Shopping Center. The eatery, known for its hand-crafted, gourmet sammies, soft-opened Jan. 24 and will celebrate its grand opening March 5 with sandwich specials, discounts and deals.
E.A.R.L.’s sandwiches feature fresh-baked bread and high-quality ingredients that are locally sourced.
Popular options include the French Dip ($13.50) — comprising steak, roasted garlic, mayo, chimichurri, fennel onion marmalade and pepper — and the Cubano ($12.50).
“With this new space, we’re able to expand our menu and also have a few specials exclusive to our Market City location,” says Justin Parvizimotlagh, owner of E.A.R.L.
The shop is open 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.
