Latkes and Brewskis in a Special Hanukkah Tent at Saul's This Weekend

The latke tent will be open for three days, though if you're a Saul's server it'll probably feel like eight.

​This weekend, the sidewalk in front of Saul's Deli (1475 Shattuck at Vine, Berkeley) will be jamming with Jewish music, not to mention ample servings of house-made latkes and microbrews. The Hanukkah tent celebration starts Friday, Dec. 11, and ends Sunday, Dec. 13, noon to 6 p.m. each day (the Festival of Lights itself starts Friday evening). Saul's makes its latkes with organic Glaum Ranch eggs, and fries them in local rice-bran oil. They're $2.50 a pop, or $27 a dozen; applesauce is $6.75 a quart; and sour cream runs $3.95 a pint. Hanukkah dinner specials available inside the restaurant, too. What, you think you can resist soufganyiot and lokshen and brisket braised with tangerines?
