Jewish food doesn’t come in until the very end of this episode, in which Frank Costanza is temporarily living with George while separated from his wife, Estelle. George exacts revenge by feeding Rachel, who keeps kosher, a scrumptious dish of scrambled eggs, failing to tell her there’s lobster in them. Meanwhile, Jerry’s girlfriend Rachel walks in on George changing after the pool, catching a glimpse of his “shrinkage.” After Rachel tells George’s girlfriend about the underwhelming sight, she splits. Kramer discovers a filled lobster trap on the beach and brings them back for the group to feast on. The group and a few of their significant others take a trip to the Hamptons to visit a friend’s new baby. Here we have our anti-Jewish food episode. Two races of flavor living side by side in harmony. Jerry nibbles on one of these Jewish deli staples while waxing poetically about race relations: “Oh look Elaine, the black and white cookie. Unfortunately, a couple in front of them (going to the same party) purchase the last chocolate babka, forcing Elaine to settle for cinnamon, a “lesser babka” (I agree).īut wait, there was a hair on the cinnamon babka, so while Jerry and Elaine wait in line for a new one, we get to our second Jewish food reference of the episode: the black and white cookie. Off they go to the Royal Bakery to get a chocolate babka-that bready, swirly Jewish dessert dreams are made of. The fearsome foursome are on their way to a dinner party, and Elaine insists they must bring wine and a cake. Unfortunately, this plan backfires when a starving Elaine gobbles up the cake.Īn all-time classic episode, this one features not one but two Jewish food references. Jerry attempts to buy Newman off with a Drake’s Coffee Cake-a kosher confection from the makers of Ring Dings and Yodels. Jerry’s mortal enemy, Newman, witnesses this, and threatens to tell Martin everything. Jerry visits Martin in the hospital, where the comatose man’s girlfriend flirts with him. Meanwhile, Jerry’s neighbor, Martin, attempts to commit suicide. In this episode, Elaine needs to fast for three days before taking an ulcer test.
