Again, great photographic evidence of Old Friends at Factors.
Old Friends at Factors: A Memoir
I was shocked, shocked, to hear that BK had never been there, especially since the family homestead had been just down the street. Well, I might never have been to Factors either if it weren't for the fact (see what I did there?) that I, too, lived for one year just two blocks down the street -- on S. Beverly Drive at Cashio where friends had a condo that I was staying in while vacating my previous apartment and joining them on their sailing cruise in the Caribbean for several months.
However, the only food I remember eating in Factors was breakfast or brunch in which, to my knowledge, I only ever had a bagel with lox, cream cheese, and all the trimmings. God, those were delicious. But I'm glad to hear the place has survived the years, and especially glad to hear the pastrami is great. Want!
