    Michael Solomonov at Feast Portland

    Michael Solomonov at Feast Portland

    Andrew Friedman kicks off HRN’s coverage of Feast Portland with Philadelphia’s award-winning chef Mike Solomonov. Over a single cup of coffee, the two discuss the magic of Oregon produce, the importance of mentoring other chefs, and the trip that inspired Mike’s newest book Israeli Soul. Mike also opens up about his personal struggle with sobriety and his participation in the festival’s very first in Zero Proof dinner.

    Michael Solomonov is the Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Philadelphia’s pioneering Israeli restaurant, Zahav. In addition to his duties at Zahav, Chef Solomonov co-owns Philadelphia’s Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Abe Fisher, Goldie, NYC’s Dizengoff, and the philanthropic Rooster Soup Company, which donates 100% of its profits to Broad Street Ministry Hospitality Collaborative that provides meals and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness and hunger in Philadelphia. Also in 2017, Solomonov and the Israel Ministry of Tourism (IMOT) created a partnership to champion Israel’s extraordinarily diverse and vibrant culinary landscape.

    Episode 27: Mike Solomonov

    Episode 27: Mike Solomonov

    At his restaurants Zahav, Abe Fisher, Dizengoff, Rooster Soup Company, Goldie and others, Philadelphia-based chef and restaurateur Mike Solomonov has established himself as the standard-bearer of modern Jewish/Israeli cuisine. While at the Philly Chef Conference recently, Andrew and Mike borrowed a conference room for an impromptu rap session about what it means to be Jewish in the industry, the pitfalls of modern communication, where new restaurant ideas come from, and the secrets behind Philadelphia’s burgeoning restaurant scene (hint: it’s a good place for cooks to live).
