Coca-Cola Hosts American Diner Experience in Tel Aviv

Coca-Cola is hosting its second annual "American Diner Experience" for four days at Hangar 11 in Tel Aviv Port during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday. The venue has been transformed into a large-scale American-style diner, featuring red booths and a vibrant atmosphere. The culinary highlight is a menu curated by five leading Israeli chefs and pastry chefs: Haim Cohen, Moshik Rot, Guy Gamzo, Yarden Shi, and Moran Gil.

Each chef offers their unique take on American diner classics. Moshik Rot presents a "decadent" burger with sloppy joe and mushrooms, served with sweet potato fries and peanut butter sauce, emphasizing "good raw material quality, decadence, and plenty of flavor." Haim Cohen, drawing on his 33 years of experience from "Dixie," serves wings, home fries, and an entrecôte sandwich, describing the diner experience as "youthful" and about "decadence" and "touching with our hands."

Guy Gamzo offers crispy chicken in a black bun and chili con carne in a "No No No" bun, stressing the "touch" that makes it feel like being in America. Yarden Shi serves a hot dog in a chimichurri sauce with a juicy taco, calling the sausage "fat and splitting, simply crazy." Pastry chef Moran Gil rounds out the sweet offerings with a lemon tart and meringue with lotus cream, aiming for a "super crispy and tasty" experience.

In addition to the food, the event features live performances by popular Israeli artists including Ran Danker, Agam Buhbut, Noam Beitan, and Liran Danino. The event is open to ages 16 and up. All food is served in compostable containers, and recycling machines are available for cans, with deposit fees donated to the "Latet" organization.

The event aims to provide an accessible taste of America in Tel Aviv, with tickets priced at 57 shekels, including a main dish, side, and a drink. Food bloggers and social media influencers attended the launch, sharing their positive reactions to the dishes and the overall atmosphere.
