On this week's episode, Jenn_Harris_ heads to Nate 'n Al's in Beverly Hills for matzo ball soup, then north to Grossman's Noshery in Santa Rosa for kreplach, pelmeni and varenyky.
Big, small, soft, hard, there’s no such thing as a wrong matzo ball. According to Shelli Azoff, co-owner of the 75-year-old Nate ‘n Al’s deli in Beverly Hills, there’s a matzo ball for everyone.
“Some people like them small and dense, hard,” she said, seated in a booth at the restaurant with a bowl of hot matzo ball soup before her. “This style is much more on the fluffy but not fall-apart style,” she said. The dumplings have become synonymous with Jewish deli food and culture, served bobbing around in hot bowls of chicken soup meant to cure whatever ails you. I grew up eating my Jewish grandmother’s medium-sized, dense matzo balls at Passover dinner.From gyoza to ravioli to mandu, Jenn Harris explores different dumplings and the stories behind them.
The matzo balls at Nate ‘n Al’s are the size of softballs. Chef Jose Estrada makes hundreds of them a day, and mixes the dough by hand. And while most people order them in soup, some diners request the dumplings on their own.On this week’s episode of “The Bucket List: Dumplings,” we get a peek inside the kitchen at Nate ‘n Al’s. A real Nate and Al opened the delicatessen in 1945.
