ינצח טוב הכי והשף הלוואי! In English: “May the best chef win!” Which do you think looks the best?
Last night was the Fourth Annual NYC Latke Festival in Brooklyn.
There were 17 chef and restaurant contestants. It was held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
Everyone who attended got to eat latkes and vote for a winner.
This is the latke that won the people's choice award. It is a yucca and sweet potato latke with apple plantain sorbet, queso fresco, pickled onion, cilantro and spicy green hot sauce.
It was made by Gramercy Tavern sous chef Micah Fredman.
Here is the one wearing the medal. At far left is the head chef of Gramercy Tavern (and one of the country's best chefs), Michael Anthony.
