But the Ramo, 113:13, explicitly says that only cooking on fire was <br>
forbidden. So at least for Ashkenazim this whole issue should not <br>
exist. Someone should inform this restaurateur, and/or the Rabbanut.<br>

The context is that smoking and pickling are not considered BA, and I think when he says "bishul shel esh" it includes any form of cooking by heat. Otherwise cooking with an electric hob or deep-fryer wouldn't be BA either.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, I really don't understand why BA is an issue at all in a Jewish-owned restaurant with kosher supervision. None of the reasons for the gezeira seem to apply. Even for Sephardim, since the SA is meikel in seif 4 in the case of servants in a beit yisrael.</div><div><br></div></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
