Final Score: Where Every Overstuffed Sandwich is “Practically Open-Faced”

January 28, 2016 2:32 pm

You can usually assume that restaurant owner who's on a first-name basis with his clients is a pretty friendly fellow, and that assumption would be correct in the case of Final Score's Joe. Many Yelp reviewers refer to him by name, citing him as one of the main selling points at this popular sandwich shop. Of course, his friendly face and helpful attitude still pale in comparison to the sandwiches themselves.

Sink your teeth into a sub stuffed with fresh roast beef and colorful bell peppers, or try the classic turkey sandwich with a bag of potato chips and a drink. No matter what you order, as one reviewer puts it, the sandwich will be "practically open-faced" due to the slew of fresh ingredients packed inside of each and every creation that comes from behind the counter.

Final Score
23754 Lyons Avenue
Newhall, CA 91321

How to Play Host or Hostess — Without the Stress!

January 21, 2016 2:31 pm

Whether you're throwing a dinner party, planning a birthday bash, or having family over for the holidays, these simple tips will teach you how to play host or hostess without the unnecessary stress.

  • Start early. At least a few weeks ahead of time, start to think about the major details: the number of guests, the menu, and anything that you may need to rent. This will start to ease you into party planning mode and avoid any last-minute surprises.
  • Prepare ahead of time. Make as much of the food ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze it so that you don’t spend the entire day in the kitchen. This way, you’ll just have to reheat and add the finishing touches.
  • Create enough seating. Even if you don’t have a large dining room table to fit all of your guests, you still want to make sure that everyone has a place to sit. Borrow chairs from a neighbor or invest in floor cushions for a more casual affair.
  • Set the mood. Play fun music, clear out any unnecessary furniture to create more space for socializing, and plan a few games in case of any awkward lulls in conversation. These are tried-and-true tricks that will prevent your party from hitting a slump.
