On a Thursday night in Crown Heights, cholent takes center stage as a Shabbat preview. The slow cooked stew made for Shabbat tables becomes the excuse for a neighborhood-wide crawl.
Eitan Levine, a New York based writer and comedian, moves from legacy delis to newer spots, chasing kishka, perfectly cooked potatoes, and that deep, schmaltzy Jewish umami he calls Jewmami. What unfolds is more than a food review. It is a portrait of Crown Heights itself, where cholent is shared, debated, and held as a living piece of community.
In this video, Levine analyzes and tastes the cholent of five Brooklyn restaurants and gives each cholent a rating.
Enjoy!
