Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

"The Laudable  Knish ...". I have eaten every kind of Knish under the sky!! Well, that's not exactly true. I have eaten my fair share of Knishes over the years, and I have a favorite, and I am here to share it with you. My favorite Knish is a Short-Rib version combined with potato and onions topped with rich beef gravy.   What puts my Knish over the top and makes it stand apart from other Knishes is the addition of  Schmaltz and Gribenes .
