And – A very popular renewal of one aspect of Jewish culture is in full swing in Toronto – the food! Anthony Rose is one of Toronto’s most prominent restaurateurs who currently runs a new style Jewish deli, an Israeli middle-eastern restaurant and a takeout and sandwich joint called Schmaltz Appetizing. Schmaltz means melted chicken fat or excessive sentimentality, and it is also the title of his new cookbook “The Last Schmaltz.”
