LA's Hidden Gem: Chef's 12-Day Pastrami Steals the Show
12 May
Summary
- Chef James Dalton, Mookie Betts' private chef, opened a new sandwich shop.
- The signature sandwich requires a 12-day preparation process.
- The shop is located in an industrial area of Santa Clarita.
A new culinary destination, Table 504, has quietly opened in an industrial area of Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, far from typical trendy spots. This low-key sandwich shop is the brainchild of Chef James Dalton, who has served as the private chef for Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts for many years.
The menu features a highly anticipated 12-day pastrami sandwich, which involves a lengthy 10-day brine followed by an eight-hour smoking process, all served on house-baked bread. Another popular item is the $20 "504 Italian," made with premium meats and house-made focaccia.
Dalton's extensive background in hospitality, spanning 26 years, led him to private cheffing for Betts. Together, they launched the Table 504 brand, blending Dalton's expertise with Betts's star power. The shop's unique location and high-quality offerings are drawing attention, with social media highlighting its unexpected gourmet appeal.
