GREAT EATS HAWAII: JERRY'S RESTAURANT AND DELI

JERRY'S RESTAURANT AND DELI

MARINA DEL REY, CALIFORNIA

My Dad's wife Heide showed us a menu from Jerry's and I just had to make a visit. I looked over the huge menu that has everything you can imagine served up 24 hours a day. I wanted to go for breakfast, for lunch and even dinner. We had to squeeze our visit in and it turned out to be for breakfast. Oh how I wish it could have been lunch. The sandwiches on Jerry's menu are like the ones you get at Carnegie or Stage Deli in New York. This is the real deal New York type Deli. Huge sandwiches, soups, bagels, salads, burgers, fish and even Mexican food. Jerry's has something for everyone. The menu is awesome. I tried the Machaca Burrito ($12) and split it with my wife. The burrito was filled with shredded beef, eggs, potato, pepper and topped with pico de gallo and served with rice, beans, guacamole and salsa. This was great! Filled up two people with not problem. Heide had the Cheese Blintzes ($11). Three huge cheesed filled crepe type things served with a large bowl of fresh fruit. Dad enjoyed a huge plate of thickly sliced ham, eggs and potatoes. He did not put a dent in the plate and had enough to take home for the neighbors. Keli had the dollar size pancakes and sausage.

I really liked Jerry's and hope to return again and again.
