That’s a quote from Joey Kurtzman who’s lying down in the hovel now studying the Torah portion Shoftim in preparation for our dialogue starting circa 4 pm here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Complete video of my discussion with Joey Kurtzman on this week’s Torah portion Shoftim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We just had a nice kosher lunch on David Suissa at Shiloh’s (9939 Pico Blvd).<\/p>\n

After an hour of chithcat, I started rhapsodizing about split pea soup, how it was the only food that made me happy. That I always got all sweaty and joyous when slurping down some split pea and that it made me feel alive and alert and energized.<\/p>\n

So David and Joey also ordered split pea (though I was the only one to take a second bowl).<\/p>\n

I find it easy to order extra helping when somebody else is footing the tab.<\/p>\n

Shiloh’s split pea is as good as Pico Kosher Deli’s but is 250% more expensive ($9 a bowl vs $4).<\/p>\n

I’ve never been in a Shiloh’s before. Nice place. White tablecloth. Stones in the urinal. (Gotta try that at home to add some class to the hovel.)<\/p>\n

I felt like a slob in my black shorts and ripped blue t-shirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
