Manalapan Kosher Chinese Express Owner Buying Non-Kosher Chicken

[Euclid]

Remind me of the Monsey case? What kind of place was it? Hechsher? Was it a frum owner?

Monsey? Top of the line hechsher. And top of the line (reputation) owner.
Also was exposed during Elul IIRC

Time to switch to pareve cholent?

That, or he downplayed things

Well, his job is representing the restaurants.

Can't vouch for all the details 100%, but this is certainly the long and the short of it. Hatzlacha is a chassidish store and pretty much everyone in Monsey ate (and still eats, after the industry-wide changes that were done in the immediate aftermath) their food.

So, similar to the CLE case in the 90s.
So that's 2 frum and 1 non-Jewish major cases. Any others?

There are other foods that taste bad ( =clearly kosher) that I'd eat before that.

From the blog post,
"The family has two kosher chinese restaurants in Brooklyn, one in Fairlawn, (one in Elizabeth) one non-kosher in philly."

Elizabeth must be NKS. What are the Brooklyn ones?
Sure hope there's a thorough investigation into them all.

This isn’t consistent with what GKR claims OK told him. If they’re telling people to Kasher utensils up to six months back…

All this discussion is real mikva talk without a statement from the OK, including the GKR article.

[ExGingi]

He is well known for throwing around baseless  accusations.

The problem of crying wolf too often. TBH when I first saw this thread and I saw Yudel Shain's blog being quoted I just moved on.

These jokes are really insensitive and in poor taste. One should be nauseated and saddened by the fact that multitudes of frum people likely ate neveilos. There were shuls in Lakewood that ordered from them for events so even those who never went to manalapan may have unwittingly consumed neveilos. It would have been self evident to these same posters not to crack a joke about someone’s relatives who died of Covid lo aleinu. This is similarly tragic and should not be treated in such a cavalier way.

Lucky for you, paying for three lifetime subscriptions and then the place shutting down…

And people telling me PGFHGS

Anyone can post the full OK official statement?

I figured there it is. For some odd reason tapatalk uploads appears as an empty post due to my filter.

After all, price is a big factor.
