Classic Jewish deli w/ matzo ball soup & corned beef
"This classic West LA deli has served families in the Los Angeles area since 1948. Its spacious dining room can host larger lunch and dinner groups, but many Angelenos come for the stellar grab-and-go counter, which features mammoth mounds of macaroni and potato salad, fat sour pickles, and piles of cured fish. Slink into one of the booths, order a thick-cut pastrami sandwich and some sides, and treat yourself to one of the most trustworthy deli experiences in Los Angeles." - Rebecca Roland
"A weekday lunch at Factor’s Deli is like buying a ticket to the most stimulating living museum in the country. There are bickering neighbors, retired talent agents still sending emails, and at least five people who went home with Robert Redford in the ‘80s. Each one will tell you a different dish is their favorite. That’s par the course at this historic Jewish deli in Pico-Robertson, considering the menu has over 100 items on it. For us, it’s all about the classics: corned beef on rye (with plenty of spicy house mustard on the side), lox, and the best, most decadent matzo ball soup in the city." - brant cox, garrett snyder

"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
"The first episode of this new season debuts tonight on KCET at 8 p.m., with a focus on the owners behind LA staples Wexler’s Deli and Factor’s Famous Deli. Both offer their spin on Jewish classics, but come from vastly different backgrounds." - Farley Elliott
