CW SIlverberg, host of “Schmoozing & Cruising: A Trip Through Kosher Americana,” grew up kosher in a non-kosher neighborhood in Minnesota. His love for kosher Americana – and sharing “wonderful stories of positivity, food and fun” – is what drives this project.

“We live in a golden age of exploration and communication,” Silverberg told says. “I get to try all those kosher things that you would never think would exist.”

He adds, “That’s really what the TV show is also about. That’s what my whole lifestyle is about.”

Silverberg, who says he always wanted to kind of be an Alton Brown or a Julia Child-esque host of sorts, is living his dream.

“Schmoozing & Cruising” is not about the secret places, where there are kosher restaurants, food trucks and other establishments. It’s about the only places.

“We’re there to highlight what’s special about them,” he explains. “We are here to educate and entertain and have a great time.”
