Shortly after 2:00 a.m. on Friday morning, July 26, the overnight crew at Zadies Kosher Bake Shop felt an unusual amount of heat and smelled smoke. Upon exiting the building into the rear parking lot, they saw smoke coming from the rear of Green Dragon Asian Cuisine, a non-kosher restaurant at the far end of the shopping center. They quickly called 911.
Thyme & Tonic recently underwent a change that’s pretty uncommon, even in the kosher restaurant world. They switched from offering dairy to offering meat.
These guys are actual butchers, so you can’t go wrong with ordering a steak.
Robert Barrack lives a few blocks away, but he heard about it from his daughter. She is married to an Israeli man and lives in Israel now. My daughter sent me the post and I felt I should show my support, he said. I didn’t even want coffee.
With so much going on surrounding the kosher operation, it’s hard to see how things might get better. But that’s the goal.
Not only did they seek out kosher restaurants to populate a kosher food court, but they also ask prospective eateries if they’d like to pursue kosher certification before they open.
With tons of kosher restaurants and tough competition, it was a bold move for Cork and Slice to open their second location there this year.
If you're looking to just visit for a day at the beach, do three days of activities, or even a full week of relaxing including a Shabbat, the shore is ready for you.
Whether you’re just driving to the restaurant for a special dinner, or if it’s the focal point of a vacation to the shore, Salt is up to the challenge.
If you want a change of scenery and don’t have a ton of vacation days or don’t want to pack a passport, I would suggest Pier Village.
If you go to a restaurant called Dagim, I’d assume that you like fish. But just in case you aren’t exactly in the mood for that, Dagim still has you covered.
Essentially the only authentic kosher Mexican food on the East Coast, Taquito isn’t much to look at. And that’s assuming you can find it in the first place.
Having opened last year, Dolcetto isn’t the biggest restaurant. In fact, they are expanding to include more seats both inside and outside to accommodate the patrons that come with their recent popularity.
Barnea Bistro isn’t a steakhouse. Sure, there’s steak on the menu, but the real reason you are walking in that door is the style and care with which Kessler and his staff prepare their exquisite menu.
Let’s be honest, most people are coming to Yakar to order steak... With a good selection of cuts on the menu, there are a lot of different avenues you can choose. Most people might not select it, but I’m going to recommend the Skirt Steak.
There’s something about going to a kosher restaurant that isn’t just kosher, but also distinctly Jewish.
When I was invited to Smokey Hill, the first thing I noticed was the smoke. While not visible, the smoky smell will certainly hit your nostrils when you first walk in the door. That smell is sure to get your mouth watering as you sit down and try to make some tough decisions about what to order.
Ideally, you’d walk into BIS with a large group of people and order a bunch of things to share. The appetizers certainly would work well that way. But when it comes to an entree, your choice might be harder.
When I was invited to check out Diller, I was impressed with the ingenuity of their menu.
They’ve got enough options for your whole party and going will certainly make your night feel like more of a party.
Eight people is a more reasonable number to eat the board (and only the board) as there’s certainly enough food there for eight people to walk away full. But a group of ten might be optimal for a few reasons.
He’s taken the Israeli cuisine as a canvas and used a range of paint brushes from an international palette to create a truly unique menu with flavors and ingredients that you might not expect to see work in concert together.
The fillings may all be different, but one thing that is almost always the same is that there’s an ample amount inside your sufganiyah.
If you’re like me, you walk into a place like Margez and you ask what on the menu is the kind of thing that really makes the restaurant special. The answer in this case is the Couscous Tajene with Lamb Shank.
Since Bonito is a shared plates restaurant, many of the items on the menu can be described as appetizers. This leads to a wide selection that includes a few different fish options.
What makes Carbon stand out in the expanding group of charcoal chicken places? They make their own sausages. These are not similar to what you will find in a store.
As Rosh Beit Midrash, I look forward to spearheading a wide array of learning opportunities and experiences and to building relationships that further advance and deepen the already inspiring growth atmosphere at Darchei Noam, Rabbi Katz said.
I’m used to playing Division III basketball at the end of the day, Turell said. It took me a game to get used to the speed and used to the size. After that, I felt very used to it and ready to go.
The biggest thing is to set your goals, work hard, and know that it’s possible. There are obstacles obviously, but if you’re good enough and work hard enough you can make it happen.
There is the newly minted Arizona Boardwalk in Scottsdale. While not in any way an actual boardwalk, this circular pavilion is full of great activities for the whole family.
The first thing you need to know about the area is that Phoenix and Scottsdale may be technically two different cities, but they border each other and the two Jewish communities are separated by only a few minutes by car.
Luckily for you (and, let’s face it, me), I was allowed into the extremely full belly of the beast where I tasted some truly amazing things. Did I do this for my own good? Of course not. (Just ask my waistline.)
