Kosher at the Convention

As the Republican National Convention winds down, it’s safe to say that some of what went down wasn’t exactly kosher. But the food was a different story.
A pop-up from Chabad is supplying kosher-keeping conventioneers with eats from Chef Dave’s Catering, a kosher catering business based in suburban Beachwood. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are being served, along with to-go items, according to Cleveland Jewish News.
