The secret to Ike’s success is a dirty secret… literally. “Ike’s Dirty Secret Sauce” is spread on every sandwich and baked right into every loaf of Ike’s World Famous Dutch Crunch bread.

For meat lovers, there are unique creations such as the Matt Cain Sandwich, piled high with roast beef, turkey, salami and provolone. For vegetarians, there’s the Meatless Mike sandwich featuring vegan meatballs, among several other choices. There are also vegan options and a gluten-free menu.
But what really sets this company apart is their devotion to their customer’s happiness. As Yamil from Burbank commented, “I’ve had their sandwiches before and wanted to share the quality and creative. This was a perfect solution to our catering needs, and something different from the typical sandwich!”
