Jewish Food







Over the years, we've published a few top 100 lists—all of which were challenging to conceive and curate, incredibly fun to put together, and controversial in their reception. But none was as challenging or fun—or likely to be as controversial—as the one we're debuting today: The 100 Most Jewish Foods.
