It seems that chef Yonatan Roshfeld may need a new business partner.
The celebrity chef, known as much for his role as a judge on Israel’s “Master Chef,” as for his signature tomato salad, recently severed ties with Adi’s Lifestyle, the group of high-end restaurants owned by Adi and Irit Strauss, scions of the Israeli dairy empire Strauss.
The three have been in business for eight years, reported Ynet, after the Strauss siblings bought Roshfeld’s first restaurant, Tel Aviv’s Herbert Samuel, for NIS 7 million.
The trio then opened Yavne-Montefiore which has since closed, followed by Tapas 1 Haam; Alma, a high-end boutique hotel; and a kosher Herbert Samuel in Herzliya’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
It was difficult to sustain work at the kitchen counter with all the restaurants in the group, surmised talk show host Guy Pines. Alma ended up offering only dinner, and rumor has it that the hotel is for sale as well, said Pines.

For now, Roshfeld recently opened another new Tel Aviv restaurant called Dinner, which, natch, is only open during the evening hours, and is reportedly spending more time in the kitchen.
And according to Ynet, plans to open another Herbert Samuel in Jerusalem are still in the works.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
