Fasting Menu (LA Dining)

In Los Angeles dining, the term ‘fasting menu’ primarily refers to special menus offered by restaurants for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. These menus provide meals for the pre-fast period (before the 25-hour fast begins) and the break-fast meal (after the fast ends). A prominent example is Clementine, which offers a Yom Kippur Menu featuring traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dishes such as matzo ball soup, brisket, and noodle kugel ^[1]. The term is not commonly used for other types of fasting in the LA restaurant context.
