California’s The Hat opens soon in Spring Valley | Eater Vegas

"Boasting “World Famous Pastrami” and a Southern California pedigree that stretches back to 1951, this location — The Hat's first out-of-state expansion — is back on track for a 2020 debut in Spring Valley. Located at 6239 S. Rainbow Blvd., the built-from-scratch, 4,122-square-foot restaurant will include an outdoor patio and a drive-thru, and sits across Rainbow from Scooter’s Pub and a short distance from Archi’s Thai Bistro. With a reported construction budget of $750,000, the chain — best known for its thinly sliced pastrami served on a French roll with mustard and pickle and dipped in the house recipe au jus — plans to offer pastrami dip sandwiches, chili fries (served with tomato and pickle), hot dogs, roast beef dips, burgers, cold sandwiches, fries with gravy, and onion rings. The Hat currently operates 11 West Coast restaurants, including the legendary 68-year-old walk-up Alhambra location, and future opening hours or an estimated debut date for this Spring Valley spot have not been announced." - Bradley Martin
