Rabbi Anchelle Perl of the Brooklyn-based Lubavitcher Hasidic sect will be seen in his bright yellow apron and large white chef’s hat frying latkes, or potato pancakes, for the first International Kosher Latke Eating Contest, to be featured on the 17th annual live Chanukah Telethon. The fundraiser will air Sunday, Dec. 13, from 7 to 11 p.m. on WLNY TV 10/55 and reach viewers in Brooklyn and in the tri-state area. Eight contestants will have three minutes to eat as many latkes as they can. Questions? Comments? Sound off to the Editor
