Even the ice cream cookie sandwich ($7) is seasoned with salt and ground chile pepper. Strauss’ pork schnitzel, soon to be added to the menu, is breaded with sweet challah crumbs and served with bitter garlic greens and pork jus. The Oy Bar Burger ($16) is thick, not smashed, and comes served with melted Toma cheese, cilantro, cucumber and hoisin ketchup. His beef brisket, brined with Szechuan peppercorn and star anise (among other aromatics), is stuffed inside a flour tortilla with Comté cheese and crusted on a flattop with Gruyère and jalapeño. Strauss’ signature pastrami is the star of a killer quesadilla ($17). The yaki onigiri ($8), a grilled rice ball with smoked salmon, fresh dill, crème fraîche, red onion, miso butter and everything sauce, is delightfully warm and salty. Salt and fat are the marks of good bar food, and the dishes at Oy stick to your ribs and pad your gut. ![]() It went so well that the owner of the bar approached him about another space - Flask, the liquor store in Highland Park where Jeff’s Table operates. ![]() Strauss did a two-month stint serving Reubens, salads, chicken wings, crispy chicken sandwiches and pickle platters to bar customers. A friend who had attended a few of the Super Bowl parties “was doing a comedy night there, when it was Oyster House, and she floated my name to start doing pop-ups in the kitchen,” he said. Oy Bar wasn’t an unfamiliar space for Strauss it’s the first place he cooked and sold his food professionally. This is a friendly place to lie low and have a drink, a place where Strauss and team believed there was an opportunity to modernize traditional bar food. Deep ramen bowls and big oval dinner plates line the cabinets at the end of the bar, a signal, perhaps, that portions will be generous. The wood banister lining the rim of the bar is so comfortable and familiar that you could, as I imagine many people have, take a nap there uninterrupted. Thousands upon thousands of oysters have been shucked inside this space, and the ghosts of $10 boilermakers, spilled liquor, seafood and fryer oil have created their own lasting ecosystem. Walk through the matte black door and you’re likely to notice a salty musk that permeates the air. ![]() Oy Bar, formerly known as the Oyster House, opened in 1972, and it remains a neighborhood fixture, doing business next to an auto service shop in an inconspicuous San Fernando Valley shopping center on Moorpark Street.

Customers became ardent fans of certain sandwiches, referring to them as if they were picking their favorite character in a TV show: among them, the yuzu kosho turkey, brined with citrus and served with green chili aioli and peppery arugula a miso-crusted roast beef sandwich with horseradish crème fraîche and - perhaps the most beloved - the Dirty Baby, a turkey salad melt with crispy shallots, chili crisp and shiso-pickled red onion. The fare at his deli, which he christened Jeff’s Table, reflects the flavors of his Jewish upbringing, the Greater Los Angeles area and his employees.ĭuring the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the popularity of Jeff’s Table soared. Strauss, a former TV writer and “Friends” supervising producer, is a self-taught chef who gained a reputation among friends and family for his home-catered Super Bowl parties. When Jeff Strauss opened a sandwich shop in the back of a Highland Park liquor store near the end of 2019, his menu inspired a loyal following, even though the eatery was open for business only four hours a day, six days a week.
