Aiming to fill a nearly two decade-long dining void, a highly anticipated New York kosher-style deli is ready to debut its authentic scratch-made pastrami, corned beef, Matzah ball soup, latkes, bagels and more in Jacksonville. Bell & Layton's Delicatessen and Provisions celebrates its grand opening Sunday, Nov. 8 at 10140 San Jose Blvd., in Mandarin. The deli and bakery from co-owners Brian Bell and Willam Layton is believed to be the first-of-its-kind in Jacksonville since the legendary Worman's Bakery & Deli shut its doors in August 2009 after more than 85 years. "We really wanted a place for people to come and taste the food that they had at their grandmother's. We wanted that sense of community. All the dishes that we have, kind of bring you back there when you walk through our door," Layton told the Times-Union. Bell traced their inspiration, in part, to Worman's.
