Mixing meat and fish

Does Beverly Hills really need a kosher steakhouse that also specializes in sushi? We'll find out next week when New York's upscale The Prime Grill opens in the Rodeo Collection. Management tells the Jewish Journal that the opening here means that L.A. "is finally catching up to New York in the Jewish culinary big leagues." Er, all right. But how do they separate milk and dairy? From the JJ:

Prime Grill gives off an air of hip and luxurious, cutting edge and classical. At the same time, it's strictly kosher. Atom Hovhanesyan, the sommelier, says that the wines are mevushal, meaning they go through flash pasteurization that permits them to be handled by anyone and still retain their kosher status. The restaurant will follow "strict kashrut supervision," assures Joey Allaham, owner of The Prime Grill. "But we don't want people to think of us as a kosher restaurant that happens to be superb. We want them to think of us as a superb restaurant that happens to be kosher. We want to reach out to all of L.A. interested in the finest food, not just a Jewish clientele."
