"Opened in 1948—the same year the State of Israel was founded—this Westside, family-run deli has remained in the same family, with the founders' daughters Debbie Markowitz Ullman and Suzee Markowitz leading it for much of the past four decades. It grew from a single storefront to occupy an entire corner of Pico Boulevard while largely preserving its classic menu, attracting lifelong regulars; its 70th anniversary was marked by a special meal prepared by several of Los Angeles's most celebrated Jewish-American chefs." - Greg Morabito
