Felafel Alaska Style

January 1, 2008 - 2:00 PM by

You have to give a smile, wink and nod of appreciation to 30-year-old Nadav Weiss, an Israel native who took a business risk and succeeded. B-I-G T-I-M-E.

Weiss had never cooked felafel & he couldn’t find pita in Alaska when he decided to make felafel his full time job. But never mind. The intrepid Fairbanks resident learned how to make both and then set up a stand at the local farmer’s market.

When the lines grew longer and longer he and his Alaska native wife decided to open The Felafel Palace. Open a mere 4 hours each day, they currently average 200 meals at each sitting. The cost: $7 per portion. Not bad.

Kudos to Weiss and wife. And all because he was missing home.
