Mixing Bowl: Spike Mendelsohn’s Deli Cart, Pastrami Poetry, Five Second Rule

Former Top Cheftestant and member of the tribe, Spike Mendelsohn will open Sixth and Rye, a kosher food truck serving deli specialties this April in the nation’s capital, The Feast reports.

As ex-Hasid Joshie Berger tried his first bite of treyf and learned to cook with the other culinarily-challenged participants on the “Worst Cooks in America,” he heralded a change in food television, Jeffrey Yoskowitz writes at the Atlantic.

Artisanal, the delicious cheese company, store and restaurant in New York, is launching a line of kosher cheese in time for Passover. Help them name the new cheeses in their Contest.

Are you one of our 2%?

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses  —  take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.

Don’t just read the Forward — invest in it. Support our work today!
