In Israel, the Holy Land, the religious epicenter of the world, it's not easy to come by a kosher bacon cheeseburger.

That's right, you heard me right, a kosher bacon cheeseburger.

At Bodega, this is not an oxymoron.

Founded in 2019, Bodega has Tel Avivians and Israelis alike in a fanatical food frenzy.

From their Philly cheese steaks to their BOTs, everything is kosher and everything is certifiably, mouth-wateringly delicious.

Sitting right across from the Cinemattec, Bodega is Tel Aviv's newest American-style burger joint.

Todd Arons grew up in L.A. and has been a professional chef for over 20 years. He has worked in

kitchens in Italy, New York City, San Francisco, L.A. and Israel, and was founding executive chef

of Tierra, O oxnard, California.

James Oppenheim has been working in high tech for over 20 years before entering the food

business.

We are super excited to host the owners of bodega, Todd Arons and James Oppenheim on the podcast

today.

Thank you so much for joining us.

How are you guys?

Terrific. All right, we got through that. Staying dry.
