About

The classic cafeteria staple meets the sunny climate and sunnier cuisine of the Pacific Coast! West Coast Joes are just as sloppy and meaty as traditional Sloppy Joes, but with a distinct twist — the sweet and savory sauce coating all that juicy meat is brightened with sun-dried tomatoes and made spicy and doubly tangy with pickled jalapeño peppers. There's no limit to the Hollywood-depths of flavor in West Coast Joes... or how much you'll love them!
