Kosher restaurants can be difficult to find in some major cities.
Kosher restaurants are restaurants that adhere to a strict set of laws, also known as "kashrut," that are Jewish in origin. One example of a kosher law is that eating pigs is forbidden. Shellfish such as lobster, shrimp and crabs are also forbidden. In addition to these restrictions, kosher meat must come from animals that have been slaughtered in a humane way. Thus, it can be difficult to find kosher restaurants in many cities. However, Encino, California has quite a few.
