The Kosher Market

For all of you Angeleno's out there (you know, residents of Los Angeles...) I have found something truly remarkable. Glatt Kosher Market. Situated on Santa Monica and Colby St, it definitely has plenty of character and spunk. At any given time, it is crowded, full of middle aged Jewish and Persian ladies, their carts full and overflowing. The aisles are cramped and the store is small but it has the best prices for produce that I've ever seen. For example, a large bundle of dill only costs me 65 cents, and most of their vegetable run at under $2 per lb. Basically, it's a GREAT deal for GOOD produce. 

The discount doesn't stop there. It extends to the meat too. I get high quality kosher chicken/beef/turkey for ama-za-zing prices. So much better than Ralphs. And because it's kosher meat, it's very very high quality. But those prices don't seem to get in the way of some funny cultural "translations" that I find, especially in the meat section. Take a look! 

Shnitzel? What is this? Doesn't matter... I bought it anyway. YUM.

This definitely re-defines "cutlets" into "chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs and stars".
I literally laughed out loud.

So... if you ever make your way to Glatt Kosher Market, which is NOT open on Saturdays for obvious reasons, prepare for some cheap produce and a smile on your face.
