The Jewish Mother was established in 1975 in Va. Beach, Virginia. The three original partners decided that Virginia Beach, a resort town, needed a deli restaurant, which would double as a lounge after dinner hours, with a stage for live entertainment.
The restaurant became a full service restaurant seating approximately 200 people, with an innovative multi-paged newspaper style menu. One partner, Jeffery Segal, whose mother was Jewish, was instrumental in introducing various choices to the menu. These choices, lox and bagels, quiche, omelettes and deli meats such as corned beef, pastrami, brisket and tongue became standards. |
| Mrs. Segal, our “Jewish Mother” became the standard for the name of The Jewish Mother Restaurant and after checking the trademark possibilities, the partners found the availability of “The Jewish Mother" in Jewish Script. The application of the “Trade Marks” for restaurants, food products, product lines etc. was later received in order to franchise the existing concept! |
