I was in elis on shmuel hanavi this past thursday night. the place was empty and the food left what to be desired. we went there for convenience.
We arrived at 10pm and at around 11 a table was set up and there was tons of new food. we were very confused.
we asked what was going on and we learned that a guy has convinced eli to try a new thursday night chef and these few weeks until pesach are a trial run.
there was yapchik, poppers, mikes chicken, potato kugel and cholent.
We obviously had to try everything. yakchik was something out of this world, the poppers were a solid 10, mikes chicken was an 8. i didnt taste the kugel and everyone agreed the cholent needed a little bit of fixing.
he claims it'll be before 11 this week. definitely worth checking out
