and a very fuuny video of Casspi in the Israeli version for American Idol, few years ago, they made a holiday show and made the athletes sing to see who's the best:

you can see him in 2:44 (it's a little embarrassing and gay lol)
and in the final (4:50) it's a soccer player and a basketball player from another team vs the Maccabi
and as you see in 6:15- casppi made them lose! ROLF

My GF says that he should try Trader Joe's for Hummus

LOl, that will never do, nothing can replace the taste of original homemade hummus. Luckily I have a traditional mom who can make homemade hummus (and other things).

I don't know how it tastes, but it looks fine for a commercial hummus:

although I heard that's with canola..

Like I said in another Omri thread, scope out the fulton places. There's a lebanese restaurant and some greek houses, and some regional markets. Gonul's downtown serves hummus and pita appetizers during dinner, but I haven't given them the taste test.

Well it's likely going to be difficult to match authentic middle Eastern or Jewish foods from Israel or even New York. But Sacramento is not totally bereft. I can't vouch for the quality, although some of these got good reviews. Who knows how discerning these reviewers are, though.

Farah’s Catering on Auburn Blvd. (Kosher) no website info, but in business for 21 years. Farah herself serves customers, chats and makes recommendations.

The Food
The food is strictly supervised, certified kosher, but taste is not sacrificed because of this fact. You can order deli sandwiches, like tuna with cashew nuts and New York pastrami, or try Iranian, Israeli and other Middle Eastern regional cuisine. Kids choose between Jeremy's chicken nuggets and Brandon's knockwurst, each served with fries.

What to Order
The hummus is wonderful, and the tabbouleh salad--cracked wheat, parsley, green onion, tomato and cucumber tossed with lime juice and olive oil--is light and flavorful

Hummus?

Omri is trying to become a walking cliche.

 

[kingsnation]

Ok, is it a bad sign that 2 threads dedicated to 2 of our new players are all about Hummus and Donut joints?
