"In 2016, Michael Solomonov, the Israeli-American chef and owner of Zahav, an acclaimed 'modern Israeli' restaurant in Philadelphia, opened a stand in Chelsea Market called Dizengoff, specializing in hummus and pita. At the time, each was perhaps the best in New York, the hummus whipped, with cumin, lemon, garlic, and tahini, until tantalizingly silky and light, the pita thick, soft, and chewy, with just a hint of charred crust." - Hannah Goldfield
