  Speaker 1: Chicken soup. Good to see you again, Jay, got all

  Speaker 2: talk about the chicken soup cookoff.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do and it listen it's back. I know
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you had a shutdown for COVID there. I used to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: be involved with the judging of it. Always a terrific event.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It's up at the Temple, Ye yep. It's on eighty
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: three twenty nine Ridge Road. This coming Sunday from twelve
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: fifteen to three o'clock, and we're going to have some
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: eighteen different soups made by local restaurants and local talented amateurs.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: For those of you who don't recall the chicken soup cookoff,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: imagine like a chili cookoff, except for doing chicken soup.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And we will hand out prices to the best soups,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and anybody who comes and pays the minimal entrance fee,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we'll get to have as much soup as they liked,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as much marks as bagels as they like. The money
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: goes to help various charities and the Wise Temple Brotherhood,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: but the soup also goes to the Cincinnati Soup Kitchen,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So we helped Hungary directly just by attending and coming.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So all entrants have also made separate donation pots of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: soup that are delivered to the homeless shelters.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: That is correct. That is correct, and we've been doing this.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: This is year twenty twenty. This is the twenty twenty
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: six version. This is about the eighteenth time we've done this,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna have great soup like Izzy's, which is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: won so many times.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I know it is so good, though, that's tough competition.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: If you're planning on entering.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And that soup that I made for you that is
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: personally really help for cancer. It is personally designed that way.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Kidding well, I made it for my wife and you're
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: getting leftovers.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So your wife just had a great result on her scans.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to share that she's doing lives a negative.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's feeling good.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, Cricket out there, We're thinking about you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We've been praying for you, and I'm so happy you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: get a great report back.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But the Sacred Beast Diner they have won in the past,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: not as many times as Izzies. Nobody can beat Izzies.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We have the seasons, Spice, Baby Spice, Jewish Hospital, wandering Monsters,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: so we have a lot of soup as always, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it's just such a wonderful time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You're still doing categories because I was always a fan
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the matsa ball soup, although not that many people
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: go through the time and effort to make proper mats
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of balls.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is true, but we do it the manz
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of Ball category, we have the Chicken Noodle category, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: we have the most original category. The judging is different
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: since I'm no longer personally directing this. We have a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: huge team that's actually running it, and they have set
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: up a kind of wise temple people to be the judges.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know that we have actually anyone outside the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: temple to be a judge. But we still have the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: People's Choice, which means that every single person who comes
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you will get a chance to vote. I think they
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: use QR codes instead little pieces of paper. Now, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we're very next generation, next century, and so come and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: look at that. It is absolutely fantastic.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Well, the the sort of unusual category, the you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: it's not chicken NEOs, so most original. I mean you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: get some wild versions in that, and some of them
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: are just off the charts amazing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love the coconut cream chicken soup that
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: we've had. We've had soups that didn't have chicken, which
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you always thought was pretty original.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So they're in the wrong competition. Oh I'm called foul
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: on that that I know had charities benefiting from him.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But if you're making chicken soup, it's kind of chicken
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hit it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But we do vegetarian soups, so you know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Who else had always had a really good entry, And
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: For Kroger kroger Ys not entering this year, and you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I would like to actually say a nod. I mean,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: it's a shame of restaurants that we have had before
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of canceled. The Watson's is long gone. Brown Dog Cafe
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: just closed a couple of months ago. So sad. He
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: was there every single year. He won so many trophies.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So you know, so many good restaurants have come and gone,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and it's it's kind of the way it goes. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the restaurant is, isn't it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well that they've called it doesn't mean they won't be back.
• 4:08
