Rav Kook was the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi during the British mandate period in the early Twentieth Century before the modern state of Israel was founded and changed the name to Twentieth Century Fox.

Nobody (including him) realizes that, as his name suggests, Rav Kook was also a gourmet. Maimonides wrote his Guide for the Perplexed, and Rav Kook provided his never-before-seen (even now) Guide to Simcha Dining.

He emphasized unusual food choices – often for occasions that usually aren't associated with food at all. Not that he would suggest to eat on a fast day, but listen here to hear how he'd cater to catering the meals surrounding Yom Kippur, the Tenth of Tevet, and other days where menus usually aren't on the menu.
