  • J.E. once ate their way through New York City's Jewish and/or kosher restaurant scene in the five boroughs for an article, and as a result knows the best (and tastiest) date spot in Brooklyn.
  • There is one, immovable truth for J.E.: New York City bagels are far superior to Montreal bagels.
  • Aside from their work as a reporter, essayist, and fiction writer, J.E. has been a lifelong cook and is one of the very few who carries the recipe for their grandmother's matzoh ball soup. Learning about their family recipes and how they were passed down through the generations instilled in them at a very early age the knowledge that food is a conduit for community, history, and culture.
