Kohn, "after Passover we are starting
`Uncle Paul's Sunday Brunch' with
lox, blintzes, bagels and latkes — all
the traditional Jewish heritage food.
We still need a liquor license and to
be open for lunch," he says. Both are
expected to happen soon.
Kosher cooking is a learning expe-

married a Catholic. "Our staff is 99
percent non-Jewish. During training,
their concerns were that they didn't

everything is kosher. "I didn't realize
the amount of time that is spent look-

sure there are no insects," says Wood.
Garry Arai, a waiter, says he hasn't
had a problem learning about kosher

Mr. Kohn or the mashgiach," he says.
The only unanswered question is

out better than I had hoped for." I I
