This is awesome: Call Your Mother, the bagel place and restaurant from the Timber Pizza Co. crew, is opening this week, according to the City Paper.
It’s described as a “Jew-is deli” with bagels that are sort of halfway between New York-style and Montreal-style. CYM has also been selling bagel sandwiches at farmers markets and other events in the area for a few months now.
It’s coming to 3310 Georgia Avenue NW, which is the former Tchoup’s/Alfie’s/Mothership. Nice to see something replacing some popular neighborhood spots.
The CP has the menu too, which looks awesome: bagel sandwiches and deli sandwiches like pastrami on rye, coffee, lots of shmears, and a “big ass bagel board” that feeds two or four with all the meats and spreads they have. Sounds like a fun option for a brunch with friends or event. They also have other “Jew-ish” snacks like crispy pastrami rice, whitefish croquettes and more. The sandwiches look incredible.
There are Latin American touches as well, like “your South American grandmother’s matzoh ball soup” as co-owner Daniela Moreira has Argentine roots. It all sounds awesome.
We heard before that they also plan to have “supper club” events with theme dinners like Salvadoran food, fried chicken, Peking duck, New York style pizza etc. You can follow them on Instagram to learn more.
Here’s the location and the interior design.
