On the left is our delightful traveling companion, Deepa Thomas – author of James Beard Prize-winning book “Deepa’s Secrets”. On the right is Uri Jeremias, owner of one of Israel’s famous and hot restaurants, Uri Buri. We had a chance to spend some time with Uri. His recommendation – the tasting menu was perfect. Uri Buri is a bit out of the way, in Akko north of Haifa. Well worth the trip.
