Abe Fisher's Culinary Tour Through the Jewish Diaspora

At their newest restaurant, Abe Fisher, restaurateurs Steve Cook and Chef Michael Solomonov - a.k.a. "CookNSolo" - introduce Philadelphia to food inspired by cuisines of the Jewish diaspora.

Don't worry, I had to look up the word "diaspora," too. It means the dispersion of a people from their original homeland and is often used to describe the millions-strong Jewish population outside of Israel. So what's cool about Abe Fisher is that it incorporates cuisines from all over the world, as Jewish immigrants have settled in places from New York to Montreal to Moscow.

As he did so successfully with Zahav, Solomonov again introduces Philly to a food experience that we don't get anywhere else - especially if you're like us and have little-to-no access to Jewish home cooking.

Here's a look at several of the dishes we tried at Abe Fisher. They're all served as small plates, divided up on the simple menu by veggies, meat and fish. The menu changes frequently and not everything we ordered is currently available.  Be sure check out the menu online to get a sense for what you'll eat.
