5th Annual Man-O-Manischewitz Cook-Off
After receiving thousands of entries, our judges selected the best to prepare and sample in our test kitchen. Professional Chef Sarah Lasry picked the freshest ingredients and prepared the dishes precisely according to the recipes entered. The result was an extremely difficult choice on the parts of the judges. In the end the best of the best rose to the top to clinch four finalists positions. The fifth finalist was selected based on the popular vote online.
