What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The deli episode showcased Brent's traditional preparation of classic Jewish delicatessen dishes, the kind of scratch-made sandwiches and sides that have kept the Northridge shop a neighborhood fixture for generations. Brent's Delicatessen & Restaurant opened in 1967 and was purchased by Ron Peskin in 1969 for $1,700, according to Wikipedia, growing from that original Parthenia Street location into a full-service deli with a bar and catering operation. A site check on 2026-09-08 found brentsdeli.com showing a 2026 copyright and same-day last-modified timestamp, with active pages for online ordering, catering, and nationwide shipping through Goldbelly, and menus for the deli, bar, and daily specials all live. Wikipedia, revised 2026-07-11, reports the business has since expanded to a second location in Westlake Village, California, while the original Northridge restaurant continues to operate under the Peskin family.
