Earlier today, we linked to a story about the great Streit’s Matzo controversy. The Vaad HaRabbonim of Queens decided just a few days before Passover to remove Streit’s Matzo from its approved list of products. Due to the magic of You Tube, we now bring you more on Streit’s, a tour of the factory on Rivington Street from, of all people. Martha Stewart. Enjoy.
Earlier this week, I mentioned An Choi, the New Vietnamese place on Orchard Street, which got a mention in New York Magazine. Not to be outdone, tomorrow's New York Times food section has a big blowout on the Banh Mi craze. The Times tells you everything you could possibly want to know about these tasty sandwiches. We learn for instance, that the young co-owner of An Choi, "may be the first on the East Coast to serve the upscale delicacy
banh mi thit heo quay — stuffed with banquet-style roast pork belly and
slivers of crunchy pork skin." You can digest the entire article here.
