A Whole Latke Love for New Restaurant on Fairfax

 

 

By Rebecca Voll, Contributor

Latke Love, a family-owned restaurant serving a delicious modern twist on traditional Jewish potato pancakes, has joined the growing number of new businesses brightening up the Fairfax business district. Former caterers and experienced farmer’s market vendors Steve, Tina and Dina Shander (a husband, wife, and sister team), operate the new venture at 5151 E. 28th Ave. They share the freshly renovated building with the Cake Crumbs commissary. The location has a large, sunny patio, perfect for summertime noshing with friends in addition to the cheerful deli-counter interior.
Latke Love’s menu features mini-potato pancakes made from Tina’s German grandmother’s recipe served in bowls and topped with a wide variety of toppings: everything from the classic applesauce, to lox and capers, to barbeque pulled pork. The menu is already expanding to meet the neighborhood’s tastes. Knishes, which Dina describes as “Jewish empanadas” will soon be available in flavors like Indian samosa and brisket. The Latke Love team is also working on sweet-potato latkes for the carb-eschewing clientele of CrossFit Park Hill across the street.
Latke Love’s schedule is still in flux, but new patrons can count on them being open Thursdays through Sundays, breakfast and lunch, at the very least. The restaurant may be new, but the dishes have been carefully perfected over time. “We’ve been making these for so many years, its second nature now,” says Tina.
