Here's your chance to step behind the counter at one of Los Angeles most beloved institutions - Canter's Deli - for an exclusive two-hour, behind-the-scenes experience hosted by Jackie Canter, complete with a VIP tasting and a $100 gift card for two guests.
A Los Angeles institution since 1931, Canter's Deli is a cornerstone of the city's culture, a multigenerational family establishment that has fed Hollywood legends, late-night regulars, and everyone in between. Jackie Canter, a member of the family behind this iconic deli, will personally guide you through its inner workings, offering a rare, firsthand look at the history, traditions, and closely held secrets that have kept Canter's thriving for nearly a century. During the experience, you'll enjoy a VIP tasting of Canter's beloved classics while hearing insider stories about the celebrities, musicians, and colorful characters who have passed through its doors over the decades.
Canter's has occupied its landmark Fairfax Avenue home, a former theater, since 1953. For generations, it has been celebrated for traditional deli favorites including pastrami, corned beef, matzah ball soup, brisket, challah, and lox and bagels. Its storied Kibitz Room has long been a gathering place for musicians and helped launch artists including The Wallflowers and Fiona Apple. Canter's has also become part of Hollywood history, appearing in films including I Ought to Be in Pictures, Enemy of the State, Sunset Strip, and Be Cool, as well as television series such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mad Men, and Entourage.
This is a genuinely rare opportunity to connect with living Los Angeles history not just as a diner, but as an insider. Whether you're a lifelong fan of the deli or a first-time visitor, an afternoon with Jackie Canter offers an intimate, behind-the-curtain perspective on one of the city's most enduring culinary treasures.
