Linked-up Friday

Hi everyone!

I have decided that from this point on, every Friday will be links to some of my favorite websites, news and other items from the week regarding kashrut and other issues in the kosher world.

First of all, it turns out that the article about kosher lox and the O-U was a lie. Read the article here:

This one is really cool, regarding Cleveland’s kosher scene – or lack thereof. We have a good scene in LA, but I understand Cleveland’s plight on this one, so I stand in solidarity:

In the meantime, scroll through Matzav’s website. It’s certainly an interesting one.

Hilarious and unusual: Turns out that Cheeseburger Pringles have a recall on them. Doesn’t sound kosher to me:

And last, but not least, I have an article from Chef Todd Aarons at Tierra Sur Restaurant – possibly one of the best kosher restaurants in the country. He has great tips (and two fabulous recipes, if you can afford them) for Passover. I’m a big supporter of Tierra Sur, as I got married at the Herzog Winery and the chef was really sweet to my parents as we were planning:

And on that note… Shabbat Shalom, y’all!
