Pull up, grab a slider… and something a little stronger.

Deli Nerds got featured on LAist’s AirTalk Food Friday.

I sat down with Austin alongside our Executive Chef, Hannah Leiva, to talk about how this all came together, the food, the space, and the community we’re building in Costa Mesa.

This started as something small in a plaza. It’s grown into a place where people show up, not just to eat, but to connect.

Appreciate everyone who’s supported us along the way. It means a lot.

Hey Costa Mesa! Your own little neighborhood gem was on LAist Food Talk Friday this morning.

Go give it a listen and give us some love! Don't judge too harshly, your girls are on live radio.

Cheers!!
