How come we’re so good
at kosher catering?
We know how to observe
the laws tastefully
If only it were enough to be Atlanta’s
only hotel with a completely kosher
kitchen! After all, ours is sanctioned
by Orthodox rabbinic authority. And
a tnashgicich oversees every superb
dish our chefs create.
But who knows how kosher is
kosher?
We do. We know the original laws
so well, we can follow them faithfully
and still prepare exciting dishes that
will be the envy of all your friends.
Our catering department at 659-l4(X),
extension 2458, can tell you all about
our kosher catering. They can also tell
you about our excellent facilities for
bar mitzvahs, has mitzvahs, weddings,
receptions, fund raisers —whatever.
You could simply make your next
event a kosher one. Then again, you
could make it kosher and have it at
The Westin Peachtree Plaza.
