If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

As said earlier in thread doesn't seem to work to get them to let you book on another day besides a weekend.

basically they don't want the food to officially be any better than mehadrin, because that is not the crowd that they are looking to attract.

Meanwhile the hechsher is less than Rabbamut Mehadrin.

basically they don't want the food to officially be any better than mehadrin, because that is not the crowd that they are looking to attract.

What's better than Mehadrin food?
Is there a new level I wasn't informed about?
Super Duper Mehadrin?
Does the chicken shave its head?
