"Jeff’s Table isn’t the first deli hidden behind a liquor store in Highland Park—they’re not even the first one to occupy the space they’re in. But hidden or not, this is one of our favorite places to get a sandwich in the neighborhood. If you’re really hungry, get the “Jeff’s Special”—hot pastrami, sauerkraut, and what’s basically a big parmesan crisp on rye—or the “Dirty Baby,” which is a turkey salad sandwich that involves housemade chili crisp, two kinds of smoked cheese, and pickled onions. Order a side of the spicy, creamy Thai peanut mac salad to balance everything all out." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park

"Jeff Strauss had a career as a television producer and writer before pursuing the art of sandwich-making inside Highland Park’s Flask liquor store. People flock to the low-key operation for a taste of the pastrami Reuben. The hearty beast of a hot sandwich is piled high with smoky pastrami, melted Comte, sauerkraut, a house Russian dressing, and a perfect Gruyere crisp on a griddled seeded rye bread. If the weather is cooperative, take a seat at one of the cheery yellow tables stationed on Avenue 59. And if in Studio City, head to Strauss’s Oy Bar, which has a spot on the Eater 38 Essential Restaurants list." - Mona Holmes

"Another establishment by Strauss where food processors are used extensively for aioli preparation and other tasks." - Charley Lanyon
