Latkes – Kosher Mexican Israeli! The dynamic duo husband-wife team of Jonathan Langsam and Rosie Hernandez have taken the popularity of Middle Eastern foods to a whole new level with this Kosher fast-casual restaurant combining both Israeli and Mexican foods. Cuisine, family, an inclusive community, and tradition are most important to them. They are keeping the traditional foods alive with a vibrant twist. Jonathan’s family had kosher restaurants in NYC in the early 1900s so the decision to open his own restaurant was rooted in heritage and culture. Just in time for Hanukah, learn to make latkes, the potato pancake typically eaten during the holiday’s eight nights. Mixed with roasted corn, cilantro and onions, chef will teach us the magic that makes these crisp, gluten free and vegan Mexican latkes taste so good. A quick demonstration on how to make a customer favorite, avocado hummus to top our latkes. Jon and Rosie treat us to a glass of sangria to toast the holiday season. Using only Kosher meats, watch as chef teaches the secrets to Ma Bett’s shredded brisket – ropa vieja style, Zhug mayonnaise, roasted tomato salsa, red onion, and cilantro make for a delicious bowl. The restaurant uses only Kosher products prompting the use of plant-based “cheese” making it also a vegan favorite. Optional additional $5 to enjoy the “juice of the day” – delicious combinations of fresh pressed fruits and vegetables. Sample a coconut macaroon for a sweet send off. This location has not only a kosher, vegan and gluten free following but is the local favorite of many foodies for almost 10 years! Take the train and walk to this informative and tasty demonstration.
