EAST MEETS EAST IN SANTA BARBARA                                          

 Historic Jimmy's Chinese Restaurant becomes Three Pickles Deli

It was an exciting opening for Three Pickles Deli in what was once the great Jimmy's Oriental Gardens, a popular Chinese restaurant that was a favorite of Santa Barbara families for years. The nostalgic property, located at 126 E. Canon Perdido Street, had been vacant for years and finally celebrates a vibration of new life with the introduction of delicious and authentic deli food, wine, beer, soft drinks and some light dinner fare that will be included on their menu soon.

Three Pickles is the brain child of Bob Lovejoy, his partner Bob Mc Court and his son Clay Lovejoy.  They have all worked well together for years in a location next door to Jimmy's. The industrious group also have a location at 420 Fairview in Goleta. The woman behind this creative culinary group of men is Bob's wife Dawn, who is thrilled with the rave reviews the new location is getting.

I personally attest to the fact that this is the only place in California where I have tasted a genuine Chicago style roast beef sandwich that can compete with the best in 'Chi Town'. The new pastrami sliders are fabulous and are served on fresh baked rolls from Ethnic Breads along with what else? Three pickles! The sliders come three for only $7, and for nostalgia's sake each luncheon guest is presented a fortune cookie as a fun and appropriate ending.

          

What is great about this comfortable operation is not only the authentic deli food they serve, but also their enthusiasm about what they are doing. According to the owners the new venture will also include the opening of the bar on the adjacent side of the property, where dinner fare will be served with a choice of six beers, including Stella Artois and wines by the glass by Tolloy, Babcock and Tatomer.

Some of us inquired if the new bar area might  be called Get Pickled? In any event, it is a great place where everyone is having a delicious time enjoying the best affordable NY style deli food with favorite beverages. I highly recommend lunch here, look forward to dinner and I wish them sensational success in 2011.  BC
