Tomorrow's the last night of Hanukkah, folks, and we're making latkes! That's right, latkes. Recently, I learned that one of the reasons latkes are an important tradition for Hanukkah is the Miracle of the Oil, in which a day's worth of oil lasted eight in the menorah after the Maccabees took back Judea from the Greco-Syrians (and for the record, I have nothing against Greco-Syrians).
Tomorrow night we'll be at Bodega Wine Bar in Santa Monica, serving latkes with applesauce, sour cream and a couple of newfangled sides to boot. And they'll definitely be fried.
Big thanks to Frysmith fan Steven Wolkoff for getting us into the latke game!
