He didn't want to leave the house at all today, and surrendered in advance to the very strange forecast for mid-April, but the rain stopped a long time ago, the air was as clean as Tel Aviv air can be, and now the forecast foreshadows the only thing possible between now and the next quasi-winter.

Sun, stronger sun, and some more sun.



To all the columns of "Going Eaters"



by Shara Hinawi of Besut.

He sits in the outdoor square of his "Holstein Burger", chatting with the merchants and customers, and looks with a relatively optimistic smile at the back alleys of the Carmel market, after another day of strenuous manual labor.

This August it will close two years here, and in the niche terms of this turbulent complex, it is here to stay.

In the last few months he has developed an appetite.

He talks about a wonderful craving for Indian food and ramen, about Chinese food that suddenly, after years, does it for him, about sushi and a trip to London that is interrupted every two hours for a different tasting.

The appetite opens up, but even after this openness there is not a day that he closes without his meat.

Pierre, rightly so.

The meat is the thing.

Holstein Burger comes with love, but not innocence.

Modestly, but with enough confidence to know things

"Holstein Burger" established itself in August 2021 in what was already at that time the really hot alley, as far as I know, of the Carmel market - a combination of a back door for the old visitors of the complex, and a nasty realization that the central avenue is much more trendy, and too little food.



She comes with love, but not with innocence.

Modestly, but with enough confidence to know things.

For example, that the flesh is the thing, for better or for worse.

There used to be black kippa buns like that here, and there still are now and then.

There were, and still are, videos about a halved hamburger dripping with cheese.

There was and is a buzzing Instagram and talk, but in the end it's the segment in and of itself, what made Hinawi, and what Hinawi never stopped doing.



And this thing, by chance you landed here after decades in other and more stable democracies, is meat.

He did it again

No secrets are hidden here.

Here the secret stands upright in the corner, begging you to look

First which is a meal.

It's the steak you didn't know you could eat, in a place you didn't know you could eat, at a price you didn't know you could pay

The menu is still small and tight, doesn't go wild where it shouldn't go wild, and is very stable even after its dizzying opening, and even now, at a time when the business feels like making a little noise to rekindle the fire.



There are wings here to open (4 for NIS 22, 8 for NIS 42, 16 for NIS 80), solid and meaty, floured and fried and providing a fresh and excellent chicken taste and also an interesting dip of curry aioli (and of sweet chili, if anything you decided to get dirty today to the end), chips (14 NIS) and sweet potato chips (20 NIS) are commercial but of the excellent kind, and also a dish of spicy Mergaz sausages (46 NIS) which for some reason is still defined here as the first, but actually lands on your table not Less than five hot dogs with a sharp, sharp kick, a tall mound of fries, aioli and mustard.

A first after which one should perhaps go back to all the other firsts in the city, and start measuring perimeters.



And there is also steak and chips (NIS 87), again a first that is a meal, in the form of 200 grams of sirloin (chewy but juicy) on the same pile of chips, with confit garlic.

Or as it can be called more accurately - the steak you didn't know you could eat, in a place you didn't know you could eat it, at a price you didn't know you could pay.

A sharp and sharpened kick.

Commercial but excellent.

"There are hundreds of burgers in town. Only one is made by the butcher," declares the branded takeaway box, and rightly so

The hamburger section has expanded somewhat, but recently, and now includes a double-digit number of patty sandwiches, including redifine meat and another vegan option, a crispy chicken hamburger for children (150 grams instead of 200), as well as innovations in the form of a hamburger with or without cheese, without vegetables, in a bun Olive oil brioche.



The main story here, however, is what has been the main story since the first day - five hamburgers in the form of classic, "cheese", corned beef, mozzarella and moushate (from 53 shekels for the classic to 86 for the moushate, with corned beef and Gouda and with egg Ein and garlic aioli).

All of them are based on Hinawi's excellent 200 gram patty, with each of them adding something of their own to it, enough for you to feel like you've climbed, just enough for you not to forget the platform.



The cheese, one of the best in the city from the first moment he unloaded his luggage there, offers for NIS 63 a very professional cut of cheddar-lettuce-tomato-onion-pickles-chalpinio-aioli-bun, and also the same wonderful meat, in the medium-well grade that flirts with smoking and aging, and stops at the wonderful horror shade that cannot be found in any other color palette.

"There are hundreds of burgers in town. Only one is made by the butcher," declares the branded takeaway box, and rightly so.

Cracking.

This shake is called a "butcher sandwich", a branding move so self-evident, and so true, that it should be taught in marketing schools

And yet, I felt like doing something new here, a moderate menu shake-up that would not divert the fire from the fire, but would at the same time offer an option to those who had already been, and to those who had just arrived.



This shake is called the "butcher sandwich", a branding move so self-evident, and so true, that it should be taught in marketing schools.

This is a new ciabatta by Eran Schwarzbard, flat but not too flat, narrow but not too narrow, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside as if it were the baguette's little sister, who knows what her role is in life.



And this job is to be spread with a slightly spicy sauce, get fresh lettuce and thin slices of tomato, wait patiently for the caramelized onion container to arrive, and then meat - thin strips of "all kinds of pieces", as defined by Hinawi", that go on the plancha for a few seconds, and no more.



This business is closed, cut in half and served so that you can continue your tasting tour of the market without falling for a hamburger again.

It is an ideal size for closing a corner, but don't let this sentence mislead you, as it is the ideal sandwich-that-is-a-meal for this market, and in general, at a price (38 shekels) that is so funny as to explode.

Independence Day is already on the near horizon, and he is enthusiastic about the new and festive meat boxes he organized for his butcher shop, which you can see with the eyes of guys on the fire and also a more intimate barbecue.

That shell is cute, he knows, but it's only made because there's flesh to build on.



Beshara Hinawi of Besut.

While we sit and chat for a bit, his son tickles the inside of a Holstein burger, and other relatives are currently training next to him in what is probably the best meat business management school we have.

If all goes well, each of them will have their own Holstein branch in the coming years.

And you should too.
