Nate 'n Al of Beverly Hills
Nate 'n Al Delicatessen is located in Beverly Hills, California. The restaurant opened in 1945, occasionally serving as an informal meeting place for show business personalities.
History
Nate 'n Al was started in 1945 by friends Al Mendelson and Nate Rimer. Many of the original recipes are still used in the restaurant today, and over the years the deli has earned many accolades. LA Weekly ranked the deli's matzo ball soup #1 in the magazine's "Top 5 Matzo Ball Soups in Los Angeles".[1] CBS/Los Angeles ranked the deli's Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich on its list of the "Best Reubens in Los Angeles".[2]
In 2015, Nate 'n Al was awarded the Will Rogers Award for Best Historic Restaurant in Beverly Hills[3].
Ownership
After remaining a family restaurant for three generations, in February 2018, it was rumored that the original owners planned to sell the restaurant, possibly leading to its closure.[4] In January 2019, it was announced that a group of investors including Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, Mike Meldman, Jeff Shell, and Jay Sures would purchase the deli and keep it open.[5][6]
