In this episode of What The Falafel, Jodie Brandman sits down with Cat Young from Balagan to chat about everything from going frum to starting a kosher restaurant!

Cat had no idea she was going to be a podcast guest until about 3 minutes before filming when she was put on the sofa with a mic!

Hear how she threw away her skinny jeans in favour of a sheitel and how her husband was bundled off to Yeshiva before setting up multiple restaurants.
