In case I need a worm-ectomy. I’m not an expert in Lebanese food, I just love it. But this place is serious. I did not know that kibbi, unless you specify you want it fried, comes raw. The kibbi I know are small football shaped ground lamb and pine nut balls. I ordered kibbi and a mound of raw lamb meat was plopped in front of me. I hate to seem unsophisticated so I ate it and it was great. A gamier and nuttier steak tartare and steak tartare is my favorite.
This pride gets me into a lot of trouble and weird things into my gut. But it’s good to try things: Duck gizzards and duck tongues are now some of my favorite dishes.
