In 1980, three brothers, Egyptian by way of France, opened one of the first important restaurants in newly monikered Tribeca; Capsouto Freres. They became famous for their soufflés, wine list, Passover sedars and their full-of-personality mother, Eva. Since closing, post-Sandy, Jacques Capsouto has been producing full-of-personality, Rhone-styled wines in Galilee, Israel. KOSHER.
