On a Thursday night in Crown Heights, cholent takes center stage. The slow cooked stew made for Shabbat tables becomes the excuse for a neighborhood-wide crawl.
Eitan Levine moves from legacy delis to newer spots, chasing kishka, perfectly cooked potatoes, and that deep, schmaltzy Jewish umami he calls Jewmami. What unfolds is more than a food review. It is a portrait of Crown Heights itself, where cholent is shared, debated, and held as a living piece of community.
