"At the Simcha pop-up in Roslindale I found a contemporary Israeli-focused menu meant to convey the joy of its namesake, with offerings that included smoked goat blintzes with sweet cheese and cherry gastrique; eight-hour baked lamb belly cassoulet with heritage pork sausage; milk-and-honey burrata with smoked persimmons, confit tomatoes, and marinated eggplant; and a berbere-spiced cioppino with clams, shrimp, and dogfish. The pop-up was presented by Avi Shemtov (Chubby Chickpea) and Jeff Gabel (Kitchen Kibitz) and ran at 153 Belgrade Ave. through October." - Eater Staff
