It was an all-out frankfurter frenzy this week at a popular Jewish restaurant in Brooklyn, as a certain hot dog caused a near-riot.
It's not what you would expect: a worker in a NYC eatery caught on tape fending off a group of Jewish patrons with an electric knife.
"I was petrified – stuff was going through my mind," a patron who didn't want his name used said. "I want to live. I don't want to get stabbed for a hot dog."
The long-time patron says the chaos broke out when he and a rabbi noticed the frankfurters on the grill were non-Kosher, in a restaurant that's supposed to be dishing out the Kosher variety.
"The package didn't look Kosher," the patron said. "It was the last piece in the package."
Some customers were quick to defend the worker, who was surrounded by, according to some witnesses, a hundred enraged people.
"He just got angry," the patron said. "He wasn't about to do anything to the guys."
The rabbi, who originally certified the Shawarma King restaurant Kosher, has written a letter to the community in a Jewish newspaper. In the letter, he calls the frankfurter mix-up a "terrible mistake."
"It was a one-time incident," Borough Park resident Yosi Stern, who translated the Yiddish letter for CBS 2, said. "They caught it before it was even served to the consumers."
The rabbi tells the community that a worker was sent out to buy hot dogs, and that he went to the wrong market and bought non-Kosher hot dogs.
Neighbors say the owner is an honest man.
"He's a very religious man," one neighbor says. "He studies every morning, and he's not the type of guy to fool people."
The popular spot on 13th Avenue was shut down for several days as rabbis examined the premises for non-Kosher food, and threw out equipment that came in contact with the uncertified meat.
Customers, and the restaurant's owner, say they're hoping similar incidents don't come up in the future.
The restaurant's owner says that, in addition to throwing out equipment, utensils were cleansed with a flame to purge any pieces of the non-Kosher food.
Uncircumcized?
I am sorry, but the absurdity of this makes me laugh. Got a link to the video?
I heard that Frank was on his way to Brooklyn to investigate the non-kosher wiener controversy and to join the Hasidic community. He said that any religion that makes that big a fuss over a wiener is his kind of religion!
I wonder if the Jewish people who ate the non-kosher hot dogs are going to throw out their stomachs and intestines as the owner threw out his equipment and utensils.
Obviously I am referring to Bawney Frank!
What’s also funny is that they take their hot dogs so seriously, but surveys show that 80% of them voted for 0bama, who will strangle their “homeland” with glee.
They are idiots.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Borat?
Too bad they don’t get this riled with our fearless leaders antics.
Yes, there is an element of humor in this, but if you lived your entire life in one manner...a manner, I might add, that is very diffcult to maintain and you found out that “accidentally” everything you have worked for and sacrificed for might be undone,and that IS what it would men, wouldn’t you be a bit “peeeved?” I know I would.
Attendant: Well, the only meal left is a kosher meal.
Elaine: Kosher meal? I don’t want a kosher meal. I don’t even know what a kosher meal is.
Passenger 1: I think it means when a Rabbi has inspected it, or something.
Passenger 2: No, no. It all has to do with the way they kill the pig.
Passenger 1: They don’t eat pigs!
Passenger 2: They do if it’s killed right— under a Rabbi’s supervision.
I guess this place had better cancel plans to serve their southern pulled-pork platter
Is the purchaser of the hotdog the same one who is cooking it or are there at least two employees of this restaurant who don’t understand what their certification means?
Jerry: I have this feeling that he converted to Judaism only for the jokes.
Priest: And this offends you as a Jew?
Jerry: No it offends me as a comedian!
Pig and parts.
“but surveys show that 80% of them voted for 0bama, who will strangle their “homeland” with glee”
Um, no. Anyone who is keeping this kind of kosher is observant.
Observant Jews voted for McCain and are reliable conservatives. Indeed, their voting patterns match church-going Southern Baptists.
The “Jews” in the surveys are folks who are not necessarily even Jewish by religious observance, but Jewish by “ethnicity” -— which includes paternal decent Jews -— who aren’t Jews at all.
Probably hard to explain the importance of keeping Kosher to the illegals who don’t speak English...or Yiddish.
Quite correct. Relgious/Torah observant Jews voted for McCain by an overwhelming margin. The “Jews” who voted for Hussein Obama are Jews in name only. Their real religion is liberalism. They are too stupid to realize that Hussein Obama will eventually side with the arabs and cut the throats of his “jewish” supporters. These are the same kind of Jews who thought they were “good Germans” in 1935.
