Wanted: A Jewish Deli in Calabasas

This is an open plea for our own Jewish deli in the 91302.

It really is hard to understand why Calabasas, a city that has a large Jewish population and transplanted East Coast people like me, is bereft of any delis. 

I adore our Ralphs service deli veterans Mo and Angela in The Commons, but Ralphs is not a proper Jewish deli.

Why do we have to schlep outside our hamlet to spend our 91302 bucks in Woodland Hills at the overpriced Jerry's Deli, or go west on the 101 to the Agoura Famous Deli or Westlake Village for Brent's Deli or even further to Thousand Oaks for Nate 'n Al?

Calabasas has plenty of room for a proper sit-down deli to take the whole mishpucha (family) to for a meal.

I dream of a casual friendly place that serves crisp latkes and sour cream; a hundred egg dishes; and a lean corned beef, hot pastrami on a fresh Kaiser roll or a piping hot grilled Reuben with crunchy pickle spears and way too many French fries.

Or perhaps a nice Nova lox, cream cheese and bagel; a good egg salad sandwich (not too much mayo); an enormous Cobb salad; and a bakery case filled with huge black and white cookies (not too cakey), poppyseed-filled hamantaschen, butter cookies, fresh rugala and poofy babkas.

Is this too much to ask a city that abolished public smoking? I think not.

Can someone please get back to me on this request?
