Ashdod Travelers guide

Culinary arts 191 In the midst of an important work meeting on the matter of absorption in Ashdod, just after the '77 electoral revolution, the new absorption minister David L evi be came ver y hungry. There was no choice. The meeting was stopped. One does not mess with hunger, surely not with the hunger of a minister, and definitely not with the hunger of Absorption Minister Levi. After he was told of the seductive culinary choices in the developing city, the minister surprised ever yone by asking to be driven to Rova Alef (Quarter A). His devoted advisors were still trying to mumble something about a better alternative, but a determined Levi ignored their doubts. It seemed he knew why. At the door of the modest Tunisian Sandwich Kingdom located in the commercial center next to the market, a colorful happy character greeted him with a warm hug. He was well-known in town. Morris Sitbon. Two years later Levi was promoted and became the Minister of Housing and Construction. Ashdod's growth in general and the strengthening increase of construction in particular, brought him to the city many times. On each visit, the minister's tight schedule had a half an hour reserved for Morris's fresh fried fricassee, with the huge gap in the center which gives it the look of a smiley face. Levi soon became a part of the family. The joint photograph with Morris and the sandwich soon followed. It was hung in a place of honor, visible to any regular or casual guest who wishes to feel the hominess, happiness and tastiness with a bun where the whole is more than the sum of its parts, and even the overwhelming generosity of its presentation. 1 Rogozin street, inside the commercial center (shop 23) Sunday-Thursday 10:00-20:00; Friday 10:00-13:00 08-8567161
