A source tells me that Call Your Mother Deli will be opening a new location in downtown Bethesda. That location is said to be 4828 St. Elmo Avenue, the corner space recently vacated by Hardwood Artisans. Call Your Mother had operated a trolley car food truck at the historic Bethesda Community Store for several years, before departing as a major renovation project began there. It also has a location at Pike & Rose.
The new space on St. Elmo was famously once home to Johnny Rockets before its conversion to a furniture store. Fortunately, the prime location retained its kitchen venting system, allowing it to now return to restaurant form for the popular D.C.-area deli chain. Call Your Mother gained nationwide attention when former President Joe Biden made it his first restaurant order after being sworn in as Commander-in-Chief in 2021.

I’m the guy that has been posting asking for a Jewish deli and an Irish pub downtown. Call Your Mother isn’t exactly my favorite, but I’ll take it. Now, time for an Irish Pub!!
Oh my gosh! That's great news. Bethesda Bagel is bonafide success no doubt and kind of an institution at this point. But I think Call Your Mother is better. I'd like to see them expand their menu a bit. But their everything bagel with egg and pastrami is other worldly. Best downtown news in awhile. Welcome indeed.
Nice! More breakfast/brunch/lunch options are much needed in the Woodmont Triangle.
I just screamed OMG so loud that I may have shook my entire building! Been missing the Trolly, and as much as I enjoy Bethesda Bagels, having a good bagel spot on this side of town (that I can quickly walk to) will be amazing! Between the opening of Wonderland Books, Max's, the upcoming Rosetta Bakery and now this, the triangle is bursting with so much good stuff!
I'm not sure I've read a happier, more enthusiastic comment from JAC. ""Other worldly," is pretty high praise.
