This year, Hanukkah begins in the evening on December 18 and ends in the evening on December 26. While not the most religiously significant holiday within Jewish culture, it is certainly one of the most fun: marked by festive games, oil-fried foods, and gift-giving. Los Angeles, with its large diasporic Jewish community, has a number of restaurants, bakeries, and delis across the county that answer the call of the holiday's golden-fried food traditions: from doughnut shops turning out takes on puffy, powdery, jelly-filled sufganiyot to crispy potato latkes served with fatty sour cream and applesauce. And new this year: pop-ups lighting up the scene with dishes like mole latkes and wagyu sandwiches.
