Disgruntled former masgiach to theatre district kosher favorite, Le Marais, has a rockstar past, the NYPost reports:

April 16, 2007 — He was European rockin’ royalty until he saw the light of the rebbe. Now Isaac Bitton’s former bosses at Le Marais, a French kosher steakhouse in Manhattan, may use his fast-living past against him in their $10 million lawsuit denouncing allegations they failed to maintain a kosher kitchen.

In his youth, Bitton was famous as Jacky Bitton, the drummer for Les Variations, a hard-rock band that topped France’s music charts and played on bills with 1970s supergroups Aerosmith, Kiss and Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

More recently, Bitton was a mashgiach, or kosher supervisor, at Le Marais. After he quit the job last month, he posted a blog accusing the restaurant’s chef of allowing bugs in the salad and permitting non-kosher margarine and shellfish in the kitchen.
