Jeff's Table

"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, andrew ryce, cathy park

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

"Highland Park sandwich shop Jeff’s Table caught my attention when they opened at the start of the year, right before the entire world came to a crashing halt. But with so many new pop-ups to check out over the last few months, I (foolishly) forgot just how good this place is. Turns out, these deli sandwiches are even better than I remembered. I still can’t pick a winner between the Hot KimCheezy - thinly sliced pork, house kimchi, and smoky melted cheese - and the Turkey Special, a Reuben with house pastrami-style turkey, sauerkraut, spicy Russian dressing, and both melted cheese and a cheese crisp. So usually, I just order both. A side of their potato salad, dressed with tobiko, wasabi, and mayo, rounds it all out perfectly. - BK" - the infatuation los angeles crew

"Jeff Strauss had a career as a television producer and writer before pursuing the art of sandwich-making inside 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." - Eater Staff
