So…Apparently Mike Tyson is in talks to open a chain of high-end kosher restaurants. I promise that isn’t a story from The Onion, but will likely end up in News of the Weird.
The “Are human ears kosher?” jokes have begun!
I’m excited about anyone wanting to open up a kosher restaurant, and even more excited if a chain is opened! Chains mean they might make it to the smaller Jewish communities of America! I live without kosher restaurants, so I celebrate the opening of any kosher restaurant in the world! I probably wouldn’t care about this news story at all if I lived in a larger Jewish community with kosher restaurants. But because I don’t, this story makes me very excited. Could one come here? Could one open nearby? How thrilling!
However, since Tyson is involved, I’m guessing these would be vegan restaurants. I’m not a huge fan of vegan food (If I can’t have cheese, I’d at least like to enjoy meat! Unless it’s sushi!), but I’ll take what I can get.
I didn’t have a real purpose in writing about this article, but it made me happy. So maybe it’ll make you happy too!
The very interesting backstory: Last spring, Mike Tyson adopted a vegan lifestyle and gave a very revealing interview with Details Magazine (“Everything You Think You Know About Mike Tyson Is Wrong”). If you don’t like curse words, I suggest not reading this article because Tyson’s words are peppered with them quite frequently, but in a very powerful manner. But overall, it’s a very disturbing interview.
