Ego struggles between chefs usually stay below the surface.

The maximum we get occasionally is some juicy Instagram quarrel, that too is already barely.

But a story like what happened last night at Yuval Ben Neria's upscale restaurant, we do not remember for a long time here.

Journalist Eran Suissa reports this morning that Chef Avi Conforti, owner of Topolopomo and Zozobra restaurants, has arrived at the new a restaurant and for some unknown reason has corrupted and uprooted elements in the restroom.

Damage estimated at thousands of shekels.

It will be recalled that in the establishment of restaurant a, as we have covered in detail here, NIS 12 million was invested, an unprecedented investment in Israeli terms.

"Design and atmosphere, this is an equally perfect place, one where they thought about everything and really did not forget anything," Avi Efrati noted in his review.

Quite a few people compare Ben Neria's Taizo restaurant to Conforti's Topolopmo.

In the past, Conforti's luxury restaurant was considered the most prestigious and best Asian restaurant in Israel, recently it was a restaurant that received a lot of noise and buzz, and rave reviews.

Conforti is considered a rather problematic chef in the local food scene.

Various stories have been linked to his name in the past, including the pig affair at the Safra restaurant, which he sued in a class action lawsuit, and a media dispute with his former partners, the Yarzin brothers, which ended in an explosion when he left the Chimichanga restaurant.

Is this a conflict and chef jealousy or is it an unfortunate mishap?
