Soulbelly BBQ Chef-Owner Bruce Kalman is hosting a collaboration pop-up for the first night of Hanukkah, transforming the Downtown Las Vegas restaurant at 1327 S. Main St. into Sobel Brothers Pastrami on Dec. 15 from 5-9 p.m.

Created by Chefs Adam Sobel, Harrison Chernick and Kalman, the festive one-night event celebrates the soulful, smokey and nostalgic flavors of Jewish deli culture reimagined through the lens of modern live-fire cooking.

Guests can expect a Hanukkah celebration with music, smoke, pastrami and spirit – a night where old traditions meet new energy. Part deli, smokehouse and rock ’n’ roll Hanukkah party, SBP unites chefs, friends and the Las Vegas community.

Menu highlights include:

• House-Smoked Pastrami: Hand-cut, deeply seasoned and served with all the fixings ($20 per half-pound)
• Crispy Latkes: Golden and crackling, served with sour cream, apple compote and smoked salmon ($5 each)
• Stuffed Knishes, Three Ways ($12):
  • Classic Pastrami & Spicy Brown Mustard
  • Reuben Style (corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss and Thousand Island)
  • Brisket, Caramelized Onion and Soulbelly BBQ Sauce
• Large-format specials from the Soulbelly smoker
• Classic egg creams and Dr. Brown’s soda floats
• Hanukkah sweets by Pastry Chef Keris Kuwana of Baker’s Blueprint

Limited BBQ from Soulbelly’s regular menu will also be available.

“When you can’t get to the East Coast for a traditional nosh, you do the only thing you can,” Kalman said. “Bring the nosh to you. We look forward to sharing our holiday traditions with both our Jewish friends and our friends who wish they were Jewish.”
