But the founders of Belle’s Bagels see a different future. Their new deli and bar in Highland Park is a tribute to traditional Jewish deli culture — but with some modern twists. Nick Schreiber, co-founder of Belle’s Bagels, Delicatessen and Bar, shared what makes a Jewish deli work. “To me, a Jewish deli needs pastrami, corned beef, matzo ball soup, good smoked fish, and, last and most importantly, Chinese chicken salad. A Jewish deli feels less like a restaurant and more like a grandmother’s living room,” Schreiber said.
