What a mensch. U2’s Bono left a for a 50-year veteran server at Canter’s Deli in Los Angeles last week.
Billboard reports the Irish pop star wolfed down “a veritable mish-mash of classic Jewish deli fare, including a corned beef reuben, french fries and onion rings. For dessert: chocolate chip rugelach on the house.”
Canter’s even got a shout-out on U2’s official web site.
It sounds like Bono finally found what he was looking for.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
