The 4th Annual Latkepalooza; January's Openings And Closings

SOUTH ANNEX- It's Latkepalooza time again. This Sunday, from 6-8pm, challengers and eaters will descend on Caplansky's Deli for the 4th (somewhat) Annual potato pancake-making contest. To qualify, challengers must pre-register with Kristen (Kristen@caplanskys.com) and, on the day, bring five-dozen latkes (be creative) to the restaurant, to be judged by the general public. The winner will be rewarded with a free dinner for four and his or her name will be engraved on the Championship Latkepalooza Cup. The event is free and open to the public.
