A Taste of the Old World: Jewish Food and Memory

[elleng]

Katz's. Russ & Daughters. Zabar's. Yonah Schimmel's. Barney Greengrass. Mile End Delicatessen. These are names, both old and new, that define a distinctly New York brand of comfort food. Join a panel of leading food writers, purveyors and restaurant owners for a panel discussion about the powerful connection between Jewish food and memory, and why, "at this moment in 21st-century New York, the cutting edge of cuisine is the beet-heavy, cabbage-friendly, herring-loving diet of 19th-century Jews in Eastern Europe" (Julia Moskin, New York Times).
