Lauren and Peter Lemos (Wax Paper), Los Angeles

Lauran and Peter Lemos are the co-owners of Wax Paper Sandwich Company - a small but mighty sandwich shop operating out of LA’s Frogtown neighborhood since 2015.

Now married, they met back in 2012 while working in a restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles. Peter cooked, and Lauren served.

Since then, Peter has cooked in some of the finest kitchens on the California coast, such as SPQR, Étoile, Craft, Bazaar, and L&E Oyster Bar, and even had the pleasure of competing on Food Network's Chopped, while Lauren worked in the front of the house at many places around Los Angeles such as L&E Oyster Bar, The Ace Hotel in DTLA, and Sweet Lady Jane.

Wax Paper evolved from Peter and Lauren’s dream of opening a simple, but delicious neighborhood sandwich shop.

Guests are always greeted with a welcoming smile from the couple, who often work together in the combined 226 square foot kitchen and counter service restaurant, and music is always a constant source of inspiration in such an intimate space.
