"Ilan Hall’s bacon-wrapped matzah balls served with horseradish mayonnaise have earned his new downtown restaurant its share of notoriety in the food press. For every Jew offended by his matzah balls, Hall thinks another two will indulge their inner Jewish rebel. One could argue that his restaurant is a delicious symbol, reflecting the assimilation of Jews into world cultures — the bacon as the goy, embracing the Jew, only to absorb each others’ unique flavors. Really, it's just Hall's sense of Jewish humor."

Maybe it's beef bacon. Sounds good to me. It will go well with my coke and mayo.
ReplyDeleteGross!! Never cared for matzah balls, anyway...and surrounding them with un-crispy bacon makes them even less attractive than usual. (shudder!)
