Classic Jewish deli: matzo ball soup, corned beef, pastrami
"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
"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 72-year-old Pico institution that recently paused operations but is returning from a hiatus to reopen, offering a rare example of a legacy deli resuming service amid an environment of closures." - Farley Elliott
