Description
For those who grew up frequenting the local deli -- whether it was Italian, Jewish or otherwise -- Storefront in Los Feliz is an absolutely delightful throwback, enhanced by chefs Chris Phelps' and Zak Walters' commitment to making just about everything in-house.
In the morning, there are little bodega-style fried egg and melted cheddar sandwiches, made with crispy bacon, ham or dense spicy sausage, and sandwiched in between your choice of an English muffin, soft pretzel, croissant, biscuit or bagel. The smoked sablefish -- if you can get hold of some before it runs out -- draped over cream cheese and sliced red onion on a fresh bagel, is about as satisfying breakfast as you could imagine.
You'll probably want to stop by for lunch, too, where a rather standard-looking list of sandwiches reveals itself to be much more than you'd expect. There's the gorgeously rare roast beef, served cold with horseradish cream and a rough-chopped muffaletta salad, or cooked on the flat-top and covered in cheese for a rather restrained Philly cheesesteak.
