Journeys End...

One of the most exciting things about this trip to Israel with my friends was that it was a culinary delight. All of our meals were wonderful, especially a beautiful dinner at Suzanna located right outside of the Suzanne Dalal Dance Center in Tel Aviv. The food was rich with local flavors and the restaurant’s simple design aesthetic had a casual yet sophisticated feel. My German friend Frank says Suzanna served ‘deli food’, but a deli perhaps if only Jean George had opened one! Some of the other dining highlights of my trip were the sweet potato mousse latkes with chive yogurt sauce at Orna and Ella on the trendy Shenkin Street, jumbo shrimp wrapped with smoked duck breast in a red wine sauce at Goocha on Dizingof Street, and the Yemeni bone marrow soup at Gafla in Rehovot. All and all the flavor stimulation of our dining experiences were superb! New York chefs and foodies should get a ticket to Israel immediately! I'm sure you will enjoy it and possibly learn a thing or two about the Israeli art of cuisine.

The other great thing about heading to Israel with my New York friends was that it invoked many childhood memories. The youthful visions I had of Israel have always been that of a slight haze casting a yellowish tone on the pretty yet less developed country. Today this slight haze still exists casting a glaze over the country, providing inspiration for many brilliant minds in this country manifesting great talent. This ultimately reminded me of our connection to the infinite source.

As my journey ends, I will head back to the states where I will begin celebrating the 7th anniversary of my company, sharing with you memories of the past and tips for the future!
