I went with a few friends to Brent's tonight, purely for research purposes. Brent's is the best deli in LA; their pastrami is the best I've ever tasted. With 20 years' practice I couldn't do as well.

And I hired an engineer to check out the storefront. I also bid on a couple of stoves for the restaurant; I've already been outbid on one. We'll see how it checks out.
