Some people in my family keep kosher, and several of my close friends are kosher. One of the problems of keeping kosher is finding great food at restaurants. In my experience, most of the time kosher restaurants sacrifice flavor for the fact that they must pay for the kashrut certification. That said, there are quite a few delicious kosher restaurants, particularly in New York City, where the religious Jewish population has a big influence. One of the better restaurants is Solo Solo located in the Sony Building, owned by the same folks who brought the delicious The Prime Grill The Prime Grill NYC.

Well, in a move to make what is already good food even better, Solo has wooed Top Chef Season 3 winner Hung Huynh to guest chef for the month of March. This is exciting for anyone dining in New York City, not just those who are kosher. And it will be an interesting challenge for Hung. I'm looking forward to trying it myself.

New York Times has a bit more on this story and a few other recent chef moves. Thanks to Kasi for bringing this to our attention! P.s. did anyone catch my clever/geeky title for this post?
