PRK On The Air: A Knish With A Twist

Today, we’re tasting some food that may have blown Bubbie’s mind.  Earlier, PRK wrote about the New Center for Jewish Culture’s Second Annual food event “Beyond Bubbie’s Kitchen”, which invited a bevy of local chefs to reinvent a typical Jewish dish.

Radio Boston invited some of those chefs, Steven Brand of Upstairs on the Square and Michael Scelfo of Russell House Tavern, into our studios to sample (and explain) their nouveau Jewish cuisine.

Tune into Radio Boston at 3pm to listen and salivate.

And as Bubbie would say, “don’t forget the recipes!!”
