"As a lifelong Los Angeles resident, the descendant of Eastern European immigrants who originally settled in West L.A., and a proud Jewish woman, I'm lucky to have grown up around some of the best Jewish delis in the U.S. I've seen favorite spots come and go, while others try their best but fail to measure up - and even still, I've managed to discover new-to-me hidden gems."
"Though all four offer a variety of traditional Jewish foods - including smoked fish, cold-cut sandwiches, and more - it's worth noting that none are kosher. All of the restaurants include both milchig (milk and dairy) and fleishig (meat and poultry) dishes, as well as pork and other treif (unkosher) items on the menu. Depending on your personal level of observance and specific dietary needs, there is still plenty to enjoy."
A lifelong Los Angeles resident and descendant of Eastern European immigrants grew up around Jewish delis and gained appreciation for their role in community. Four favorite Los Angeles delis named are Langer's near MacArthur Park, Canter's in Fairfax, Brent's in Northridge or Westlake Village, and Country Deli in Chatsworth. All serve traditional Jewish deli foods such as smoked fish, cold-cut sandwiches, and pastrami, while also offering both milchig (dairy) and fleishig (meat) dishes as well as pork and other treif items. Langer's is called the West Coast gold standard for pastrami, with a basic hot pastrami on rye recommended.
