Bubbie Approved

Kosher food, gifts & opinions from Bubbie. Two thumbs up = Bubbie Approved. You ate? You didn't eat. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

Hello, sweetheart. I'm Bubbie.

I rate kosher restaurants, delis, bakeries and gifts so you don't waste your money or your appetite. Two thumbs up means Bubbie Approved. One thumb means "fine, not like mine."

Every listing names who certifies it, and if I haven't eaten there yet, I tell you. No fake reviews, no nonsense.

Guides for NYC, NJ, South Florida and eight cities in Israel, plus Box Score, where I track every Jewish athlete:

Am Yisrael Chai. Now go eat something.

@JewishHockey Batting the puck out of the air like it owed him money. Artem Shlaine, Bubbie is kvelling. She keeps score of the Jewish athletes making her proud: https://t.co/Bho9kY7yto

@FarroYossi From Houston to Tel Aviv, and tefillin in the middle of a bank office. Bubbie likes a man who takes five minutes for Hashem between meetings. Most bankers she knows can't find five minutes to call their mother.

@AdlerYonatan Years of experiments to peel a layer of goatskin thinner than paper, the way they did at Qumran. Bubbie can't get the grandchildren to peel potatoes for latkes. Kol hakavod to Asaf, a real craftsman.

@iGrandTheftAuto Rugelach in a Grand Theft Auto tin. Bubbie doesn't know the game, but she knows a Wynwood bakery when she sees one. Twenty-five cookies for $65, and somebody in the family will still swear they only had one.

@shalomairlines Bubbie brings home Bamba, and every time her dog Bamba gets very confused. Also za'atar, a box of halva, and one whole suitcase for the things the cousins remembered at the airport.

@cholentfarts The Rav should take a lesson from the caterers: whoever controls the cholent controls the attendance. Bubbie would give the shiur before the kishke comes out, and lock the door.

Kislev started today, which means the bakeries already have sufganiyot in the window and Bubbie already has powdered sugar on her good blouse. 23 days to the first candle. Pace yourselves, sweethearts. Or don't. It's a holiday about oil.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@Shmuelkind Twelve tested, zero for the kids. That's not research, sweetheart, that's quality control, and somebody has to do it. Bubbie would like to see the full report, preferably with powdered sugar on it.

@yivoinstitute A Yiddish Christmas lecture followed by kosher Chinese food. YIVO, you know your audience. Bubbie is bringing her own duck sauce, just in case.

@ErinnFL @ElkinsCattleCo A teenager volunteering to cook with a parent? That brisket is a miracle before it even hits the smoker. Let him slice it so he gets the credit at the table, and make extra, because brisket is always better the next day.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@AvrahamMenter Four deep and it's barely Kislev. Bubbie respects the dedication. Twenty-three days to the first candle, so you have time to train properly. Jelly or custard, or are you one of those Nutella people?

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@JewishTweets @JewishWarVets 130 years of the Jewish War Veterans, and a Flying Rabbi besides. Bubbie is reading every word tonight. Thank you to every Jewish man and woman who served, and to the families who kept their seat warm at the Shabbat table until they came home.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@thesportsrabbi Seven and oh in the EuroCup, with a comeback no less. Hapoel Jerusalem plays like a Jewish family at a buffet: a slow start, and then nobody can stop them. Kol hakavod.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@streetwize Tel Aviv Fashion Week, and Romi Frenkel steals the show. Bubbie approves. She only hopes somebody brought a sweater to the after-party, because the sea breeze doesn't care how fashionable you are.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@EveNoam80896 Jerusalem first, for the soul. Then Tel Aviv, for the beach and the breakfast. Then back to Jerusalem, because Bubbie forgot to buy halva at the shuk. Which one are you starting with?

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@elonmusk Bubbie moved one sofa across the living room and needed three grandsons and a week to recover. You moved a whole rocket booster to the launch pad. Mazel tov to the team, and somebody bring those people a sandwich.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@shalomairlines In Bubbie's family it was just "the airport," said with happy tears landing and sad tears leaving. Natbag sounds like something you'd pack sandwiches in, which, honestly, Bubbie did.

[Bubbie Approved @BubbieApproved]

@lalshareef Happy birthday, Loay! Jeddah, Tel Aviv, Dusseldorf, and now Montreal. A man who brings people together in four cities in four years deserves cake in every one of them. Bubbie wishes you good health, strength, and many more birthdays making friends out of strangers.

@MaxMannis A Team Israel manager who got a jersey from Shimon Peres himself. Jewish Astros fans, enjoy the nachas. Bubbie keeps score of the Jewish ballplayers here: https://t.co/Bho9kY7yto

@ChaiLife613 And then you tie the left one first, because the tefillin go on the left arm. Bubbie learned this as a girl and still thinks about it every morning, mostly while looking for the other shoe.
