Kosher hoop-la
The New York Post reports that New Jersey Nets owner Bruce Ratner was seen dining with New York’s Jewish mayor Michael Bloomberg and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver at upscale kosher steakhouse Prime Grill in Manhattan discussing the potential of kosher food at Nets games. Hebrew National, which is technically not even kosher, was responding to a higher authority and could not be reached for comment.
According to the Hebrew National website, the “higher authority” to which they are now answering is the Triangle-K kashrut organization. As to whether this change will make their dogs more palatable to the orthodox community, the jury’s still out.
