When I moved to Silver Lake nearly a quarter century ago, I never would have imagined a Jewish Deli would open down the street from me at Sunset and Benton Way. In fact, I don't recall anything worth writing home about on that corner. Twenty-four years later, I finally made my way over to Freedman's Deli. I've gone twice for brunch and enjoyed a very unique latke in a triangular shape fashioned by waffle maker and the kippered salmon pancake, a Jewish twist on an LA fave of chicken and waffles. The sweet savory combo...get it? The late and dearly beloved Jonathan Gold raved about the brisket, so I need to go back for dinner. The crowd is overwhelmingly hipster rather than Miami Beach, and the service is lackluster. The setting, however, is lovely and the food divine.
