Restaurant Silo kicks off August with a special menu created by Chef Assaf Glazer. Glazer designed the menu around the most refreshing fruit—lemon. Alongside the regular menu, a variety of lemony specials will be served, including pasta dishes, seafood entrees, and gin-based cocktails.

Some of the dishes on Silo's lemon menu include: charred eggplant with feta, sumac, onion, mint, and lemon zest; lemon rocket salad with baby fennel, Parmesan, and toasted almonds; Italian shrimp with butter, preserved lemon, and harissa; tagliolini al limone with lemon sage butter and Parmesan; risotto di mare with sea bream fillet, pumpkin, saffron, and asparagus; and limoncello panna cotta with lemon cream ring, burnt meringue, anglaise, and seasonal fruit.

The gin-based cocktails added to the menu feature ingredients like passion fruit, mint, and bitters; Cointreau with strawberry and hazelnut infusion; lychee liqueur with pineapple and raspberry infusion, lemon, and tonic; and a mix of lemon, melon, and cucumber.

Get Your Spoons Ready: Netflix & Chill Ice Cream by Ben & Jerry’s is Back

If you're planning to spend the rest of the summer glued to your air conditioner and screens, we have good news for you. After a four-year hiatus, Ben & Jerry's has listened to consumers and brought back Netflix & Chill ice cream to the freezers. Born from a collaboration between the two brands, Netflix & Chill ice cream combines smooth peanut butter ice cream with premium cream, soft chocolate brownie chunks, and sweet-salty pretzel swirls. The packaging features three cows lounging on a sofa, presumably watching their favorite show on Netflix. To this day, many try to guess what it is. The recommended price is NIS 24.90.
