aving a good time at
the Kosher Food Fair
last Sunday in Oak
Park was a piece of
cake. Literally.
I found this out firsthand — or

Victor, co-host of the cable cook-

Danny Raskin from the Jewish

News.

Cake Bake-Off at the Jimmy
Prentis Morris Building of the
Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit. The event
was just one delicious piece of the
Kosher Food Fair hosted by the
Neighborhood Project as its signa-

Sunday's events, completing a
year-long celebration of 100 years
of the organized Jewish communi-

Exhibitors dished out delicacies
such as HDS's vegetarian chopped

Technicolor lavash, Seafare Foods'
creamed herring, pizza from New

York Pizza World and Jerusalem
Pizza, and bagels, pickles, olives,
Coca Cola — the list seemed end-

Morris Kosher Poultry unveiled
its new glatt kosher hot dog line
from Oscherwitz products, the
same company that makes Best
Kosher. Attendees were delighted
with the great taste and glatt
hechsher. It's no wonder Shea and
Yankee stadiums in New York now
serve these frankfurters at their
glatt kosher concessions.
Best of all, the food fair eats
were virtually free. The price for
