Think there’s only kosher food in cities with big Jewish populations?

Those who don’t travel often are surprised that you can find lots of kosher food options in places that typically don’t have large communities of Jewish life. We all know that LA, London, Toronto, NY, Miami, Panama, and most large cities with Jewish communities have a kosher presence. But there are many off the grid locations with some great kosher options. Most of them are there thanks to Chabad emissaries stationed all over the world, while other restaurants were started to serve tourists or business travelers. Ready to fly?
