I’ve earned the nickname “Bad Jew” because of my unbridled and illicit love of pork. When I started cooking in 2018, I often thought to myself “What a great name for a treif (read: non-kosher) restaurant concept”…

In the fall of 2019 I bought myself an off-set smoker, a suckling pig, and a brisket. I had no idea what I was doing. Through trial and error and the help of some good friends I quickly discovered my love for fire, fermentation and fun!

I began recipe testing and developing a concept that was delicious, unique and 100% original: PORK DELI SANDWICHES. By December of that year strangers from all over Los Angeles were eating pork reueben’s on my front porch.

The Bad Jew is just getting started, make sure to keep up.
