All they have to do is add a similar quality veggie sandwich for me and then there will be something for everyone. Or, I'll bring my home grown micro greens to put on top. Mostly, I loved that someone wrote, "every new business is someone's dream." Time to celebrate everything that we can.
Welcome Wexler’s to the Public Market !
It will be a great addition to the Market, the Public Market just keeps getting better since the new owners have taken over !
It is fabulous to learn that these people are bringing their very good act to town. I'm many things - given my past in New York and Santa Monica - but this was the first place I lived that has had no vague resemblance of a legitimate deli. For years now, I have depended on Brent's in Westlake - 50 miles from here - for my fix. Once I met its owner in the men's room there, and told him to open a branch in Santa Barbara. He rolled his eyes and said: "No thank you!" Well too bad, but am pleased that I'll be able to thank Wexler's --
Actually south west would be in the ocean
Gwynnie is doing a deal with Airbnb. And I'm sure her vacation rental/promotion will be merchandised with lots of her snake oil (with QR codes to simplify the purchase process).
The NYT article “What Is It About Montecito?” had several geographical errors, one of which remains (8/5/2023):
"on the southern edge of Santa Barbara: Montecito."
It is not possible for Montecito to be on the southern edge of Santa Barbara because it would be in the Pacific Ocean.
I'll be there often!!
Sorry to see Dirt go. I had been following them even before the Dirt days, when it was Yo Mamma's hysterically funny blog.
Welcome to great pastrami sandwiches. Grew up eating at restaurants like the 2nd Avenue Deli and Katz in NYC. No longer living in SB but will surely go to Wexler when I visit. Sounds delicious, can’t wait!????
I think it will be interesting. That motel is so early 60's. Its time it gets a facelift & some interest. I dislike grey (overdone to death) but this could bring something exciting to the hood!
I wouldn't worry. There are plenty of old Jews and Jewphiles like me in town who will be lining up for this grub.
It is one of the most beautiful places in SB. I for one, will be thrilled when they reopen.
Interesting how after 3 years of "furlough" and 2 years of radio silence from Four Seasons to it's employees, that they release this statement...also VERY CONVENIENT that this is just days before the mediation was set to begin for employees seeking their owed severance. I have any zero confidence this "renewed partnership" will actual happen between FS and TYW.
Good news
I do not eat red meat. Any turkey pastrami?
Matzo Ball Soup? B& W cookies, and my favorite Kasha knishes.
When will you be opening? I’ll be there.
Didn’t grow up in NY and love hot pastrami sandwiches. Langer’s and Canter’s were my fave growing up in LA.
Perfect..another LA business comes in and puts a local out of business and all people care about is a sandwich. SMH..so sad. I miss my town.

Boo hoo Caitlin aka Negative Nancy
Based on how they treated all of their weddings when the property first closed (aka they lied and said they were undergoing a renovation), I wouldn’t trust them to reopen when they say they will. I wouldn’t trust anything they say at all.
Can't wait for this great Deli
Thanks for the love Erik! We’re so excited to be part of the Santa Barbara community, and can’t wait to bring our house-smoked hand-sliced pastrami and lox to Public Market! Santa Barbara Ahmad always been my favorite La getaway. I actually got married there. I love everything about it. Look forward to seeing you all soon!
Love and Lox,
Mike Kassar
I think there are enough NY transplants in Santa Barbara to keep this excellent looking biz in biz.
Excited!!❣️
When does your Santa barbara location open?
Thanks
So many great restaurants have closed :(
RIP: Cubaneo, Embermill, Brazil Arts Cafe, the Crepe Cafe, Patxi’s, Noemi….
