NEW JUDGES: Marvin Saul (Junior's Deli) and Joshua Neuman (Heeb Magazine)
Kugl, kigl, kugeleh.
Lokshn (noodles), bulbes (potatoes), foie gras.
Whatever you call it and whatever you put in it, kugl is the ultimate in American Jewish culinary creativity, that sweet or savory dish that seems to find its way to your plate at every holiday and family gathering.
On June 1, Yiddishkayt Los Angeles invites you to put your kugl to the test. Bring your best kugl (or bring your tasting fork) and prepare for a day that will make you question everything you thought you knew about kugl.
Join Pulitzer Prize winner Jonathan Gold (Gourmet & LA Weekly), Evan Kleiman (host of KCRW's Good Food), Amy Albert (Bon Appetit), Marvin Saul (Founder, Junior's Deli) and Joshua Neuman (Publisher, Heeb) for kugl tasting, live entertainment, oral history recording, and a family workshop.
