Chef Yossi Shitrit has been selected to represent Israel in the "Taste of Israel - Food Truck Tour 2026" project, organized by the Ministry of Tourism. Through this initiative, Shitrit will serve kosher food to the public across various locations in the United States. His Israeli food truck aims to introduce American audiences to Israeli flavors and culture with kosher dishes, vegetarian options, and Israeli music. All events will be free to attend.

The tour's itinerary includes stops in Boca Raton, Florida, on October 25th; Atlanta, Georgia, on October 27th; Nashville, Tennessee, on October 28th; and the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas on October 30th.
Chef Shitrit expressed his excitement about the project, stating, "For me, everything starts with taste and memory. Even when I create a new dish, the flavors of home are always there. That's what I want to bring with me on this journey: the warmth, generosity, and the meeting of traditions found in Israeli cuisine. I am excited to meet people in the United States through my food, serve them a dish, and tell them a little about its origin. I hope this encounter will spark their curiosity to come here, sit around a table, and experience the food and the people behind it themselves."
