Pickle Tasting Demonstration with Michael Fraade, JOFEE Fellow

To set the mood for this hilarious comedy, Michael will demonstrate how to make some different pickled vegetables, followed by a tasting table to sample his recipes.

In this endearing family comedy, the king of Detroit’s Jewish party scene is in debt and desperate to find a way to pay for his daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. He turns to his shady uncle Morty, who agrees to loan him the money if Joey will steal his grandmother’s secret pickle recipe. With the help of a pseudo rabbi to gain the trust of Grandma Rose, he infiltrates her popular deli, and nothing goes as planned
