There are several kosher restaurants to choose from in and around Del Mar, California
Many people erroneously believe that kosher food is simply any food that has been blessed by the proper religious authorities of the Jewish faith. While it is common for a blessing to be said before eating a meal, this is not what makes food kosher. Kosher refers to how the food is processed. There are plenty of kosher restaurants in and around the area of Del Mar, California.
Milton's
Milton's is your typical dine-in or take-out delicatessen and restaurant. Here you will find a selection of all the usual kosher menu choices, such as knishes (potato rolls with various fillings), matzo ball soup (chicken broth with dumplings) and blintzes (crepes). But Milton's also offers a host of other options. For example, their dine-in menu features such items as Reuben rolls, an original creation with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and corned beef in a wrap, fried and served with Russian dressing. Milton's has been featured in best-of lists in several publications.
Elijah's
Elijah's is a full-service kosher restaurant, bakery, delicatessen and catering service. Just like the other kosher restaurants on this list, you will find a number of sandwiches that can be found at just about any other delicatessen. One of the things that makes Elijah's unique is their selection of Sky High Sandwiches. The first thing that you will likely notice about these sandwiches isn't just their size, but also their names, all of which are named after various locations in New York City (The Statue of Liberty, The Rockefeller Center, The Broadway, etc.) Elijah's also serves breakfast all day long, so you can have their Challah french toast, matzo brei or Scottish kippers any time you want.
The Place
The Place is kosher, but they take the certification of their food a step further. Not only is their food kosher, is glatt kosher. Glatt is a Yiddish term that translates to "smooth." In order for food to be called glatt, not only does the animal have to be slaughtered in a humane way (kosher), but afterward, the animal is examined internally. During this process, the lungs must not only have a smooth texture, but also be free of adhesion. Only then can the meat that comes from the animal be referred to as glatt kosher. What sets The Place apart from other kosher restaurants isn't their deli style sandwiches, but the types of salads that they offer. Here you won't find the usual offerings of a house or Caesar salad, but unique choices such as hummus and tahina, babagenush, tabouli, matbucha and Israeli salads.
