re: #312 Decatur Deb

This was in Tel Aviv—Sin City. I’m remembering it as just being observant enough to keep the bulk of their customers. They would have been much more strict in Jerusalem.

(McD’s had their own dietary strictness. Their opening was delayed for some months by a dispute with the rabbis over McD plans to import their milspec Frenchfries from Idaho. Before they opened, Israel was served by McDavid’s, a knockoff.)

McD’s opened in Jerusalem they said “fuck this” and decided to forego the kashrut openly serve cheeseburgers. When people complained they said “We have to give our customers what they’re used to.”

There is kosher Burger King and Kosher KFC in Jerusalem but personally I like Moshiko’s Falafel.
