Steve Koecher – Salte Lake City Tribune

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — For many years visitors to the Salt Lake area had no options for a Kosher meal. This made it difficult if not impossible for some skiers and businessmen to visit the area.

To help remedy the situation, Israel Lefler started a restaurant called Kosher on the Go, located at 1575 S. 1100 East in Salt Lake City. It prepares Kosher meals to hungry visitors to the Salt Lake area. It is under the supervision of the Chabad of Utah, which certifies the food as Kosher.
