I loved Top Chef this week. The contestants were taken to Ellis Island and asked to create a dish that exemplified their ancestry. I was in my element! I read a bit more about the genealogical investigation here, but not nearly enough for my taste.
The winner remarked, as she was planing with her mother, that she would focus on her Italian heritage and put her Jewish heritage aside. It was probably a good strategic move, but made me wonder what I would have made if I had been in her shoes (and if I could cook a whit). The world's best briscuit and noodle kugel? Sweet and savory rugeluch?
And what about Iron Chef: Battle Kosher? That I'd love to watch!
