Does anybody know whose Kosher supervision this location is under?

I went their Friday and I couldn't find any sign. I emailed them and they did not respond.

The website says all their locations are under the OU supervision. But this new location is not on their website at all.
The Crown Heights location is not in their website and it's under the OK

You saw the sign? What does it say?

That wouldn't be sufficient, Halachicly, unless everything would be transported and sold sealed.

Any info about this location?

Went to cork and slice again. Always a great value for date night (total bill with 20% tip 171), but never spectacular (perhaps bc most of the dishes stay the same and they are just always solid). I feel like they don’t go out of the comfort zone like some wierder places like abaita, which is probably smart for their bottom line with the boring audience here.
We were very happy, but I guess I’m complaining bc I’m never in love?
New eggplant balls, a lil too doughy/heavy falafel like, but sauce and cheese were on point,
Tuna tartar was a bigger serving than most places and delicious and the crisps were perfect crunch and also great color.



Tuna blt still the best milchig kosher sandwich I know with excellent fries (used to be $22 for lunch, it’s $35 for dinner and still a great value). Also got new butternut squash ravioli my wife loved but note very small portion (the waiter warned us).


Creme brûlée was nice but not reserve cut back in the day good, could have used some raspberry or fruit flavor added to it.

I have had good experience with Dr. David Shechter. They come to the house (no lines!) and results are usually next day. You can whatsapp at 718-252-6843 to schedule.

I recently tried another place which comes to the house and it took days for results.

Have u tried shechter recently? Cause we use the same lab (actually I'm pretty sure some may even be in his name) and the past few weeks it's been 2-4 days (usually about 3). Lab is Accureference. Unless he changed labs for his the house calls and maybe they're quicker.

I used him last week. He uses a lab called LabQ . That's who he has been using for my house calls for the last bunch of months.

I got antibody and PCR results next day.

Patis bread is delicious and actually reasonably priced (relatively speaking) paid about 7 dollars for olive sour dough bread
