Blue Ridge Farms (favored by kiddush committees coast to coast) salads and cream cheeses and what-have-you that bear a “K” are certified Continue Reading »
March 3, 2004 at 12:42:07a.m. I recently dined in a fairly nice restaurant in Brooklyn. A sign in the window assured one and all that the restaurant employed a “mashgiach tmidi just for vegetables.” Ot azoi! That was impressive, let me tell you!
