Updated 2:03 PM It’s Hanukkah year-round at the Killingsworth Station food cart pod or, at least, a reasonable facsimile of the Lower East Side of New York. In any case, the pod is where Aaron Tomasko and Rachel Brashear of Sweet Lorraine’s Latkes & More are serving voluptuous potato pancakes, as well as knishes, kugel, kasha varnishkes and East Coast sweets. In other words, Jewish grandma cuisine. That’s literally what it is: The cart is named after Tomasko’s maternal grandmother, while also referencing the 1928 standard made most famous by Nat King Cole, which Tomasko’s grandfather Gerry used to sing to her.
