Eating goes

The icon of the Hatikva neighborhood is now making an amazing pita (which is much more important than football)

The last few weeks have taken every bit of a smile off our faces.

Hoodia and Yehuda Gohar brought him back in a huge way

A stand of love.

"Do you remember those days? What days did we have here?"

Only a few meters - a few hundred at best - separate the scene of a journalist attacking here 11 in the Hatikva neighborhood and the most beloved food stand in Tel Aviv, the one that holds an iconic championship image in its interior, which is a trigger Nostalgic squeezes tears for every local customer who passes by here.

For all the columns of "Eaters are Going"

to the delicious Instagram page of Walla!

Topographical and geographical

food

This is the same neighborhood. There is probably a certain level of certainty that the wretched attackers even managed to eat at this stand, but what about topography, geography, demography and humanity? Here are human beings and here are human beings - and the cameras documenting the violence gave them signs and separated them from each other, so that we would not make an effort.

Indeed, do not make too much effort - let Hoodia and Yehuda Gohar lead you, sit you down, feed you and try to make you forget what your eyes saw in the May riots.

Give them a few minutes, and see how two-week fractures coalesce slowly, bite after bite.

It is not easy to choose a sandwich in this market

This fricassee has rightly reached television.

Now he's even better

The Cuba here is the kind that leaves you staring at the steaming air of hope, and sitting you with the spoon much longer than you planned.

That is, of the true kind

"Cuba the Rooster" has been operating for only a few months on the outskirts of the neighborhood, just outside the market that has been trying for years to balance its culinary tides. The promise of Tel Aviv's new food destination no longer really knocks off any domestic tourists, but the institutions are still here. And between us, who needs more.

What started as a modest sandwich stand led by the daughter, has recently become - with a smiling push from the father and based on the mighty hands of an older relative - a sweet factory in the heart of Cuba. If those four words alone did not make you leave the screen and keyboard (and the honed talkback that will show me what it's about the opening), you're probably mistaken for the wrong channel. If you want, I can refer you to recommendations for a balanced meal and nature walks.

The guards, however, have two-three bar stools, two-three street tables, an elongated counter overlooking the road most prone to traffic calamity in the city, and Cuba.

The latter is the kind that leaves you staring at the steaming air of hope, and sitting you with the spoon much longer than you planned.

That is, of the true kind.

Includes a dish that will transform the city

Tel Aviv did not need another place for burgers?

Three icons in one iconic image.

This large disc is served as it is cut into quarters, and sprinkled with tahini and ambala so that they seep in and shorten a path for the obvious - a bite that someone else has already dipped for you, and you just have to lead here

There is a yellow cuba based on burgul (20 shekels for a huge unit, on a plate or in a pita, yes, we said "inside a pita"), a fried Syrian cuba (10 shekels per unit), a rice cube (15 shekels) and a potato cube, made from potatoes (15 NIS) There is also a fancy vegetable omelet (12 shekels, "because people thought I was crazy but that's the maximum I'm willing to take on an omelet," as Gohar defines it). The choice is unnecessary, come hungry like us, take one from each, and try to withstand the generous burst of hospitality of the daughter and father.

We started with Syrian, a fried classic that we all already have a hard time remembering when was the last time we ate a good one of its kind. Not in this case. Everything comes out of the small kitchen boiling and fresh, and the dairy version also adds crispiness, with a medium-thick coating, and while being tender. Three bites, three embarrassments of "hot in my mouth", and that magic was behind us.

We continued with the potato cuba, or in our own words - what happens to a meaty pretzel when he meets mashed potatoes and falls in love.

It was soft and fun, like a round, plump Spanish croquette.

It was also, in terms of capacity at least, our moment to stop, but we did not listen to anyone at this point (except Judah).

The rice coba was great too, with an accurate crust and excellent texture bite, but its burgundy sister won in what was undoubtedly a tough and delicious battle.

This large disc is served as it is cut into quarters, and sprinkled with tahini and ambala so that they seep in and shorten a path for the obvious - a bite that someone else has already dipped for you, and you just have to lead here.

This piece, if you ask for such a to-go, is also inserted into the pita, and lovingly (again, lovingly) expands our favorite carb-within-carb section.

"People thought I was crazy but that's the maximum I'm willing to take on this dish"

The original plan was to come, take a peek, order a takeaway and drive to eat it all in the air-conditioned and public-free dripping drip. It was an innocent plan to be funny, impossible and completely disconnected in his understanding of the active souls.

Gohar, the legend of Bnei Yehuda that really was (why, where did you think the rooster came to the sign?), Dominates his corner with assertive dissent. He smiles and laughs, hosts and dances, stops small-talk to shout something to the saleswoman across the road, and never stops taking out saucers, plates and bowls laden with food. It takes a lot of energy to tell him "enough, we exploded". We will channel this energy to take extra home.

When the moment of reckoning comes - look surprised - Gohar is "wrong" only to his detriment. "Half a neighborhood I could have bought with the money I once had, but I'm healthy and loving, and that's what matters," he explained the concept. We told you, another bite and another word of his, and maybe in the end we will be able to live here quietly.

"Another year I'm the smartest man in Tel Aviv, or the most idiot"

A pretty perfect pita is about to get a criminal upgrade
