If You Think all Kosher Chickens are the Same, rThinkAgain! At Empire Kosher, we breed them, hatch them, feed them, grow them and process them. That's the Empire Kosher difference. Every chick- Consider the Hatching • en used in Empire's Grow-Out program is hatched in our own facility. Every single chick leaving our hatchery meets Empire's uncompromising stand- ards for the highest kosher quality. Consider the EmpireControl- agents — and they'll tell you anything — that I could go on the second round, and also on the second day (rounds six through 12)!' If Goldberg does make it in the NFL, it'll be a ease of "the third time's the charm" for his family. His older brothers Mike and Steve both were fine players at the Universi- ty of Minnesota, but not pros. "Steve was with the Raiders for eight weeks before suffer- ing a back injury," Bill related, "while Mike had a chance with the Eagles, but didn't pursue it. He had a bet- ter offer in business and doesn't regret it (the Eagles offer)!' The whole Goldberg family is involved with sports one way-or another. His father, Dr. J.E. Goldberg, an obstetri- cian/gynecologist from Tulsa, and his mother Ethel, of Miami, are at each of his games, despite their divorce. His sister Barbara is married to ESPN sportscaster Larry Burnett and "is one of the boys — just as crazy as we are," Billy Goldberg adds. That off-field "craziness" in- cludes, for Billy, competing in sailboat racing, flying and working as a bouncer. In ad- dition, Mike - Goldberg is in the airplane business in Miami and was able to get younger brother Billy to the controls of the Goodyear Blimp "when I was 15 or 16. He knew its regular pilot and it was very fun," the younger Goldberg recalled. Dr. Goldberg, who refereed high school football for several years, said of Billy, "He's just a normal American -boy . . . but bigger than most!" Goldberg said his summer workouts enabled him to gain 10 pounds, to 272, but now he's down to a "mere" 255. He cooks his own meals because "our training table isn't the best," and uses two pounds of chicken or fish for dinner's main course. As far as his mouthiness — which caused University of Mississippi Coach Billy Brewer to call him "A warlord . . . a gun-toting, knife-toting bad guy," Goldberg explained: "When I told my teammate, whose brother is Georgia 'Ibch's starting quarterback, `Sorry, but I'm going to have to eat your brother,' what was I expected to say? "But I don't think I've gone out of bounds. My philosophy is that if a reporter asks me a question, I'll tell him what's on my mind!" ❑ At Empire Kosher, the world's largest producer of- naturally grown, kosher poultry, we've been process- ing chickens for over 50 years with strict adherence to. the laws of Kashruth. We've been doing it without hormones, vvithout artificial ingredients and without growth stimulants -- long before consumers became concerned with what they're eating. In today's world of highly processed foods where labels read like a chemistry textbook, our Empire Kosher poultry is still grown and processed naturally. We use only cold water which we believe helps keep contamination and bacterial growth to a minimum. From breeding to finished product, we consider Em- pire Kosher's totally in- tegrated process unique among kosher poultry processors in the United States and possibly the world. Of course, the entire process is under uncom- promising Rabbinical super- vision. • All feed used Consider the Feeding • in the growing of Empire Kosher poultry is produced by our own feed mill under Rabbinic supervision. From the purchase of only the best raw grain to the exact formulation of the highest quality, all natural feed, and the manufacture of complete and nutritionally balanced feed ra- tions, Empire Kosher is in control every step of the way. Empire Kosher relies on a net- work of local farmers to raise our ko- sher chickens to our exacting stan- dards. Proper care and feeding of Empire's chickens are carefully monitored throughout the grow- ing process. In accordance with the Jewish dietary laws, all animals must be humanely treated. Thus, Empi- re's special poultry is allowed freedom from cages and allowed to roam in chicken houses. Consider the Processing. Our processing plant is the most modern kosher Consider the Breeding • Not every breed of chicken is suitable for the kosher process. Consequently, Empire Kosher has been instrumental in the development of an exceptional breed of chick- en, exclusively created for the demanding kosher market. The special Empire Kosher chicken is express- ly chosen for its superior eating quality. At our breed- ing farm, our geneticists hand-select stock for the leanest Empire Kosher chicken possible, with thinner, less fatty skin and more meat. Empire chickens are allowed extra time to develop maximum flavor, result- ing in the world-famous Empire kosher excellence. poultry plant in the United States. It is especially designed for kosher product flow. Under constant Rabbinic supervision, Empire Kosher strives for a minimum of product handling to bring consumers everywhere an assured quality kosher product. Often, USDA approved poultry is rejected by O-U Rabbinic supervisors. Therefore, only unques- tionably kosher poultry which meets all the stand- ards of Kashruth carry the Empire "Symbol of Excellence" wing clip. THE QUALITY OF A PRODUCT IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS COMPONENTS.
