We have learned that "House of Dog: Dogs n Beer" is opening another location for this popular all-American spot, where they take the kosher hot dog experience to a whole new level with over a dozen varieties of sausages, and over 50 hard to find craft beers.
According to the plan, the newest location at 21077 Powerline Road in Boca Raton, FL (see photo), will open before the end of the year.
Stay tuned for more exciting news regarding HOD and plans for several more locations. We wish owner Baruch Sandhaus much success and Ha'tzlacha.

After we reported a few weeks ago that "Pizza al Volo" was due to open sometime soon, here comes another pizza cafe on its heels. "Raffaello" will be located near 46th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenue and will open at the end of October. The owner Charly Darwich tells us that it will be more upscale then your typical kosher pizza store, and will specialize in real Italian pizza, not American style, but the prices will fall in line within the other pizza places. The restaurant will also serve pasta, sandwiches, and salads, all under the OK kosher supervision (Cholov Yisroel).

After many years of wishful thoughts that a kosher restaurant may open in the Venetian or Bellagio or being asked by diners when will there be a kosher restaurant on the Las Vegas strip, this may be the jackpot you were looking for. Kosher Gourmet Restaurant & Bakery has recently opened and is located in the Hawaiian Marketplace, an outdoor shopping mall, across from the Manadarin Oriental. Hopefully, the odds are in their favor to last longer than some of the other area restaurants who have come and gone. They bill themselves as having an authentic Mediterranean cuisine with healthy vegetarian dishes, including falafel, hummus, kabobs, fresh baked bread and pastries. Click here to see their full menu. They provide take-out and delivery to all hotels and conventions. They are under the Kosher supervgision of the Va'ad HaKashrus of
Las Vegas and Chabad of Nevada and Rabbi Wasser of Congregation Sharie Tefila LV. (H/T: YeahThatsKosher)

A Hotbed of Kosher Restaurants
While I have traveled to many kosher restaurants in cities throughout the world, I believe Los Angeles is the one city where you will find the most consecutive restaurants on one long avenue. There are over 40 kosher restaurants in less than a mile on West Pico Blvd, in what should be the new Restaurant Row. With absolutely no exaggeration necessary, I can tell you that I went up and down Pico over 50 times during my 5 days there. And the variety of restaurants on this strip is fantastic. From American to Thai to Chinese to Persian to Italian to French to Israeli to Asian (not to mention all the burger, schnitzel and sushi joints) it is quite marvelous.
And of course, not every restaurant can be on Pico. There another dozen or so restaurants scattered around the LA area and dozens more in the valley. Although, one thing that did surprise me was that there haven't really been any new restaurants openings for a quite a while. The restaurant life is a cycle, and while there have been just a few closings, not many people are opening here either. But here is some breaking news: The dairy restaurant Twenty Six, will be turning meat in a month or so and the owners have plans to open a dairy restaurant just a block over in the near future.
But it seems the Doheny Kosher Market scandal has hit some of the restaurants hard, with some even switching supervisions and others contemplating it. I was surprised that the store's name is still in large letters. I would have thought the community would not have wanted to be reminded every time they drove by. In a weird kind of way, I almost think it's becoming a photo opp for a tourist to show his/her friends back home, that this is the market that...at least I think that, since I took a picture of it myself.
Anyway, I had a great time visiting and dining at all the restaurants, schmoozing with the owners and hearing how they are doing. Like all kosher restaurants around the country, it's not easy, there are daily struggles and issues, but they are trying hard. So if you currently live in the L.A. vicinity or will be visiting soon, be sure to check out our Southern California section on our website here for photos, menus and all the details. The discount certificates for the So. Cal restaurants are available, so check our California Deals Section.
Let us know what you think about the L.A. restaurant scene.
