Fried kreplach at Canter's

This reliable piece of local history, still owned by the Canter family after nearly 80 years, is both a fine old-school Jewish deli and one of LA's favorite after-hours places. Come here at 2am, and you're bound to see musicians from all over town who've just gotten off-stage and want to tuck into some blintzes or a stacked pastrami sandwich. The mural by the parking lot chronicles Jewish history in LA.

Everyone is familiar with kreplach as those delectable soft dumplings that float in Bubbe's chicken soup, but kreplach can do more than just fill a bowl of soup. What could be a finer Christmas finger food or appetizer than fried kreplach, which is really just our version of a wonton? Delicious! Therefore, prepare some extras and fry them up for your guests before you just confine kreplach to the soup bowl. Your friends will adore the excellent snack you have prepared.
