JNET – Jewish Business Networking
Thurs., Jan. 16th at 6:30pm
Meet Marc Hernandez, one of the owners of Brent’s Deli, as he joins the meeting to talk about how he helped build the business and brand for Brent’s Deli. The hands-on approach has helped grow Brent’s Deli into the # 1 Delicatessen and Restaurant in the nation, with delivery anywhere in So CA. Their high standards and passion for consistently excellent food are part of their formula for success. However, it is the quality of the staff, their fanatical dedication to customer service and their ability to make the customer feel right at home, that really sets them apart. In addition to the Northridge location, the family, led by Marc, opened the long-awaited and highly anticipated 2nd store in Westlake Village.

I finally know what it means to Eat to Live vs. Live to Eat
Shellee Dyne, located in Calabasas, has helped me make successful diet lifestyle changes, but I wanted to let you know that she is now in Westlake every Monday! All these years, I wasn’t feeding my body what it really needed. I had read & heard about clean eating, but without educating myself, thought it sounds boring & full of deprivation. But I was wrong. While I have lost weight, it’s really more than just a number on the scale. It’s about feeling good, having energy and most important being healthy. If someone would have told me my cravings for sugar would disappear, I seriously would have never believed them. But it has and it’s true. I HIGHLY recommend her. Life changing.
