Food Underground

Food Underground Ari’s culinary roots began during a decade spent living in Israel.

Following time spent as the dining reviewer for The Jerusalem Post, he transitioned into the professional kitchen by way of a tiny, little deli connected to Tel Aviv’s The Basta. He then moved to the kitchen at The Minzar, Tel Aviv’s legendary 24-hour bar, where he learned food preparation from Eastern European classics (sausages, pickling, fermenting), to North African cuisine (whole animal use),

and Middle Eastern standards (hummus, spices, salads). Ari then went on to work for Chef Rima Olvera, serving as opening line cook and then as her first sous chef at Chef Olvera’s Oasis. Back in America, Ari first worked at the Philadelphia main-stay Percy St BBQ before heading to the line at High Street on Market.

Been thinking a lot about Musi, my fishmonger from the shuk. He was my guy from times long before I got into the professional kitchen. I miss his fruits of the sea, his curmudgeonly ways, and his bottle of Jullius craft Distillery that flowed on Fridays.
