Street food is abigpart of
the Israeli experience, but
chef Eyal Shani has pimped
the standardhummus-
and-falafel at his “gourmet
fast-food” restaurant,
Miznon. His trick? Serve
absolutely everything in
pitta– fromminute steak
to ratatouille– all with salsa
and tahini. His signature,
slow-roasted, whole
cauliflower, is legendary
among locals.
