JEWS HAVE A 'BEEF'
Burger "sacri-licious

March 2, 2008 -- It's a cheeseburger for the chosen people.

But it's leaving some kosher customers quite verklempt.

Popular Upper East Side restaurant Talia's Steakhouse recently began
cooking up what is believed to be the city's first kosher
cheeseburger
- a real-beef patty topped with tofu cheese in American or mozzarella
flavor.

The formerly forbidden food is now being served as a "Kosher Parve
Cheeseburger" at the popular glatt kosher eatery, which does not
serve
meat and dairy together, in accordance with Jewish law.

While many are excited to give the taboo take-out a taste, others are
kvetching that the burger is bad news.

"I would never entertain the thought of eating cheese - real or fake
-
with meat," comedian Jackie Mason, who keeps kosher, told The Post.
"It makes me nauseous just thinking about it."
