"Opened in late 2021 by business partners William “Trey” Owens and Nar Hovnanian with executive chef Ari Augenbaum, this Jewish–African restaurant in Richmond, Virginia fuses Jewish classics with Ethiopian flavors. A standout is a shlishkas-inspired, breaded yam gnocchi: garnet yams and roasted garlic are mashed into a soft dough, shaped and briefly boiled, then tossed with browned butter, herb-scented breadcrumbs and crisped for texture. The gnocchi is served with a reduced berbere cream sauce — warm, slightly sweet and gently spicy from the Ethiopian spice blend — making it a comforting, layered dish that the chef recommends as an elevated, nostalgia-tinged alternative to typical holiday sides." - Ari Augenbaum
