Moore’s Delicatessen Handcrafts A Modern Deli in Burbank

Following two weeks in soft-open mode, Moore’s Delicatessen grand-opened yesterday in Burbank. Like the coming reinvention of Ratner’s on Third Street, owner Robert Moore tells us this project is more of a new-style delicatessen, though it was apparently inspired by the long-gone Moore’s in San Francisco. Moore followed Laurent Quenioux as the executive chef at Dodger Stadium, while his wife, Christine, is the founder of Little Flower Candy Co. The small space is all about the details, with Moore telling Grub Street that the kitchen is grinding its own beef, roasting its own turkey and albacore, making its own soup, and sourcing hot dogs from New Jersey’s acclaimed Thumann’s. In addition to dips, subs, pastrami, brisket, pulled pork, and a liverwurst and onion sandwich that Jay Weston calls “wonderful,” Moore tells us there’s plenty of dishes made for vegetarians and vegans. He’s especially proud of a collection of six on-tap brews, “only the boutique stuff, definitely not Budweiser” he says, including Allagash, Avery, Racer 5, and Green Flash, as well as six carefully curated reds and six whites. See Moore’s full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus below and find it on Twitter while its website is constructed.
