The original Jody Moroni’s famous Sausage Kingdom on Ocean Front Walk was robbed 31 August.

Jordan Monkarsh has spread his sausage cuisine to other restaurants bearing his Jody Moroni name in California, Nevada, and Arizona in the 35 years that he has been at Venice Beach, yet this is his first time to have such a “serious break-in and burglary” at his Ocean Front Walk place.

One resident when told of the burglary said “Jody Moroni’s sausage is to Venice’s Ocean Front Walk what apple pie is to America.”

“We had a serious break-in and burglary on Sunday night, August 31,” wrote Jordan Monkarsh, owner of Jody Moroni’s at the beach. “Been here for 35 years and have never had a forced entry before.

“They came in via Speedway, climbed over the fence, and broke a six-foot, metal rollup door. They ransacked the office and carried out the safe and two registers. Just such a violation. Takes time to get new registers and set them up.”

Perhaps, the City should consider cameras on the Speedway as well as the Ocean Front Walk. Monkarsh did say that he will be installing cameras in the back.
