Why I like Rami's

-I get to order in Hebrew and impress people I'm talking to on my cellphone. :-)

-They make the best felafel I've ever had, and the best shawarma I've had in the US.

-I get to see the felafel machine.

That's right, he imported an Israeli-made felafel-ball maker/deep-fryer. Probably the coolest piece of engineering I've seen in a fast-food restaurant. :-)

Which reminds me, I should finish "Harry Potter v'Cheder HaSodot" soon, I've been picking at it for months.

(That's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in Hebrew, I have books 1,2 and 4. I suspect it'll be quite a while before 5 gets translated.)

I herd somthing about Harry Potter in Hebrew...and that only the names have necudote. Thats the best way to find out how to really say Hermyoneys name (what is is Hay,eyan, raish,mem,vov, nun, yud?) well thats what it would be in Yiddish becaue the eyan and raish conbo is the english ER sound......this is my problem when I sound out Hebrew words I use Yiddish grammer rules and look like a total Askanaze.....I mean I am....but hey working in and Israeli school thats nothing to flant! lol;)

So what makes this machine different? I love a good felafel . . .

It's got a rotating drum on the top which is attached to a basin for the felafel mix. The drum rotates, and felafel balls are pressed through a series of holes on the drum and land in the fryer.
