Tonight marks the fourth night of Hanukkah, and it’s time to settle the age-old question: who makes the best latke in Denver? Two brave home chefs stepped up to challenge three local Jewish restaurant institutions — Zaidy’s, Rosenberg’s, and Safta — at the Jewish Community Center’s first annual best latke competition earlier this week. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi were on hand to eat too many latkes and vote alongside the community to see who would take home the coveted golden latke and reign supreme as the latke champion of Denver.
The JCC is hosting candle-lightings and other free events to celebrate Hanukkah. Learn more at jccdenver.org.
Bree mentioned an opportunity to make $25/hour to help migrants arriving in Denver in need of support during the upcoming cold.
