Alon Shaya was the owner and Chef of Shaya. Shaya serves modern Israeli food in his top-ranked restaurant in New Orleans. Phil first visits the Shaya residence for an evening of red beans and rice (held every Monday evening) and gefilte fish. At the restaurant, Phil tries the transformative ljutenica, a Bulgarian spread with roasted peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. They also offer house-made pita to go with the spread. Phil also tries the taramasalata, short ribs and tabbouleh baba ganoush with spring onions. Alon has now moved on to open Saba https://eatwithsaba.com/
