Anyone hear of Rabbi Aaron D. Melman? Is the hechsher ok? TIA
He's the original Hashgacha for "Jezebel", under his hashgacha they served non-mevushal wine in that restaurant. That is particularly problematic, imagine serving non mevushal wine to a table of jews and non jews together. If the non jew would pour himself a glass, the bottle would become unkosher. The restaurant subsequently dropped Mehlman, and got OU, after changing the name to "J Soho".
He also gives the certification on the Dunkin Donuts in the Brooklyn area, which Chof-K had previously revoked due to employees using the microwaves for unkosher personal food.
