I'm travelling from Australia with 2 small children and have a few hour stopover in LA airport. I was wondering if there was anywhere there to buy some kosher food (other than Pringles and Twizzlers LOL )
TIA

In terminal 6 I think there is a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, all of their products are kosher, but probably not Chalav Yisrael.
They might have salads and sandwiches in addition to cakes and cookies and snacks.

No, but I live 20 minutes away, and I'd be glad to bring you food from a local restaurant. Seriously, just let me know when...

That's so sweet of you! I'm just not sure where I'll be and how much time I'll have. I know I have to clear customs there and I remember from a few years ago that it takes a really long time. I only have 2 1/2 hours there.

This place is in the general LAX area. Maybe they'll deliver? How long are you in transit? Can you leave the airport?

The Radisson near LAX has a kosher kitchen that they use for kosher affairs. I wonder if there is some way you could get a meal there...?

Is it actually on the airport grounds? I emailed Jeffs Gourmet and am waiting to hear back from them. Thank you so much for your help.

The pastries at Coffee Bean are not really under the most reliable hashgacha. Drinks are fine but not Chalav Yisrael. You'll have to ask for their kashrus certificate to check if it's okay for you. And since you're flying international, you'll probably be in Terminal 4, not 6. But there may be a Coffee Bean or Starbucks there too. Check the LAX website, they probably have a terminal map.

The Radisson, and many other airport hotels, does have a kosher kitchen but just for weddings and events. You won't be able to get a meal there. Also, the hotels are not attached to the airport itself.

Jeff's may be your best bet. Try calling them. I wonder if any of the pizza stores would deliver? But I kind of doubt it. How are you going to get out to get the food? You'll have to go through security again afterwards.

Good luck!

Yes, I will be in Terminal 4, I didn't realize that security was that tight that only passengers are allowed through. Here anyone is allowed until the gate.

No, there nobody can get through security, only ticketed passengers. Especially international flights. So if you go out it'll be a whole process to go back in.
