Ah, Hanukkah. The season is upon us again. We love how the dreidel game transitions seamlessly into drinking. Spin that thing and prepare to get sloshed: if you get a "nun," no shot for you. Too bad. A "Hay" gets you half a shot, a "Gimel" gets you a whole one, and the lucky bro who spins the "Shin" gets a double shot. Need a chaser? Psh. But the Mazel Tov cocktail should more than suffice. Now, onto soaking up all that booze.

Latkes: these fried potato pancakes are a Hanukkah staple, representing the oil in the lamps that burned for eight tasty nights. Try these variations on the original:

  • Sweet Potato Latkes
  • Jumbo Lump Crab Latkes

    • Brisket is traditionally served on Jewish holidays. In keeping with the "Hanukkah-chic" theme we've got going (yup, we subbed in sweet potatoes), we recommend:

  • Braised Beef Short Ribs
  • Osso Buco
  • Eggplant Rollatini

    • And in lieu of roasted root veggies, delicious as they are:

  • Ratatouille with Eggplant
  • Hannukah-Style Caprese (this is something you need to try, regardless)

    • And if you'd rather go the nouveau-authentic route, we have some killer Chinese options:

  • Asian-Style Broccolini
  • Roast Chicken Buns 
  • Chinese Orange Anything

    • And it wouldn't be a holiday meal without something sweet. In lieu of those tasty chocolates with chalky residue you bought for your niece's Hebrew school fundraiser, might we suggest:

  • Sea Salt Chocolate and Pecan Tart
  • Cranberry Walnut Streusel Bars (à la mode)
  • Crespelle with Blueberry Compote

    • Now fire up that menorah and get crackin!
