Meet Itay and Rotem – newlyweds. I met Itay nearly two years ago due to my VR project that he was drawn to. A student at Arizona State University at the time, he had hard limits on how he could help us, but talk about VR we did more than a few times at his favorite coffee shop in Tempe, Echo. Along the way, we learned of his fiance, Rotem, but it would be a while until we met this smart and beautiful woman in person, and before we knew it, they were planning on getting married. Then, upon his graduation, Itay took up a gig in Los Angeles. Just before they drove out west, they invited us over for a favorite of ours: shakshuka. This typical Middle Eastern dish is rather simple with eggs cooked atop a tomato base, but enjoyed in the company of these two, it is and will remain one of our favorite dishes. Itay and Rotem now live in West Hollywood, California – hopefully, soon, we’ll take a drive out their way and maybe convince Rotem to make us some of her amazing eggplant that she made us the first time they invited us for a meal at their place. Miss these two.
