It’s so much fun for me to see how others run kitchens and get inspired myself.

@TheOriginalArchie Год назад

I like how supportive they are of each other, they compliment each other and say humbling things in regards to their skills compared to the other chefs. That may just be for camera, but I feel like they were being genuine about it.

@slikwines Год назад

As someone who used to work there, this is their baseline level of loveliness. Beau and Joe have worked there for a long time now and seems like they haven't changed a bit.

@caglioso Год назад

I’ve had the privilege to eat at Zahav several times and it’s truly worth every penny. Every single dish is absolutely phenomenal. I just wish they would let you order a la carte now but I get why that’s tough.

@jackdavis4657 Год назад

Lucky!

@janicelgo4522 Год назад

Me too. Live in SF Bay area, but work in Philadelphia area monthly (until 20, 21, but back now). Do my best to go to Zahav or one of his other places. Stay at Kimpton Palomar which is next to Dizengoff, Abe Fisher and Federal donuts.

@caglioso Год назад

@@janicelgo4522 have you been to Abe fisher or Goldie yet? Would also recommend, especially if you can do a dinner at Abe fisher.

@janicelgo4522 Год назад

@@caglioso Yes...I've probably been to Abe Fisher a dozen times. Although I live in the SF Bay area, I work about a week a month in Philadelphia and typically stay at the Kimpton Palomar which is on the same block w Federal Donuts and Dizengoff. Have not been to Goldie, but on my list. Looks like there are 2 new places, Laser Wolf and Merkaz. Excited to try them. BTW, amazing Italian restaurant (award winning Gelato too) called Gran Caffe L'Aquila on Chesnut between 17th & 18th. Philadelphia food scene is so underrated.

@caglioso Год назад

@@janicelgo4522 that’s excellent 👍🏻 Last time at Abe fisher I had the Montreal short rib which was out of this world. And Laserwolf was a great experience, not as refined as Zahav but definitely worth the trip. I’ve gotten dessert at L’Aquila before but never had a proper meal there. Sounds like you eat well when you’re here! it really is a great food city, I’m proud of how much it’s evolved the last 10-15 years.

@joshuarusso2105 Год назад

I ate there 5 years ago and was inspired and blown away by not only the food but also the hospitality which were both top notch. The way they made you feel when you entered the restaurant was something that has stayed with me and something I try to pass onto my staff. Sustainability in this industry comes from putting others first

@jona8418 Год назад

@Linkzelda21 Год назад

You can also use short rib I couldn’t get lamb shoulder so I used short rib instead!!

@amitfink Год назад

I ate at Zahav about a week ago or so, and I was absolutely blown away by the sheer quality of the food, and the way it was prepared! Every morsel that entered my face hole felt like a piece of heaven on earth!!! My favorite dish by far was the lamb entree that came with rice. My taste buds were so turned on I had to find out who made it in order to thank him personally… Turns out a young lad by the name of Remy (like the rat in Ratatouille!) absolutely killed it! If anyone here is ever blessed with the opportunity to visit this restaurant, it would be a *felony* to not ask for the lamb made by Remy himself. If you want the complete experience you’ll 100% be retelling your grandchildren about in 50 years over and over again, ask for his special sauce on top of the rice. You won’t know what hit you, but your tastebuds will make sure you will never forget… Thank me later.

I've been to Zahav a few times now. From when they first opened to right before covid in 2019...and every single meal has been incredible. From having the back room with my entire family to just a 2 top.....seeing that pomegranate lamb again, I instantaneously started to salivate.....I crave that dish, it's the type of dish it sticks with you, the aroma, the umami, the after taste. If you can get reservations, go go go!

@kevenquinlan Год назад

Wow. Super impressed. Seeing the creativity, in a thing, without it being pretensious. The people involved, dedicated to such a degree, in a task- who's only satisfaction comes through when all the work is combined. It's fuckin beautiful. Worked everywhere/ done everything, been on brigades, et al. Know more then most of the people I've ever worked for. But when you witness a team of people, working in an exacting detail, with a purpose for it being made that way... makes me teary-eyed. Regardless of success- cooking is never about money- it's about a passion for execution. To do a thing, because it's the best way to do it, everytime. And to know what you put your effort into, when combined with others/ feeling the same way, makes a complete experience... Not just for the diners... but for You.

Good job ! I feel bad for Americans who think that "Mediterranean" restaurants in the US are actually how food taste in the middle east. This guy and his team are trying their best to bring the unique flavors and i wish i was anywhere near Philadelphia to go and try it. Also remember that the lamb that is used in the US is nothing like the lamb in the middle east and thats what makes a huge gap in between.
