Taste of Lebanon

Must...get...blog...back...to...being...about...food! I know, I know-- I have no right to complain, what with the "not blogging at all in the last year" thing. Hey. You shut up. I was busy.

I did however, have time to eat at Taste of Lebanon, a great little spot 3 blocks from our apartment that is about 50% of the reason we moved to Andersonville. No, 10%. Okay, 25.

We love this place. Aside from serving the second best baba ghanoush in Chicago, T.O.L. knocks our socks off because you can get a full dinner here for 5-6 dollars, even if you are a flesh-eater. Flesh-eater! Check out the homemade dolma!

Here is Christa taking a bite out of a falafel sandwich-- I'd say she orders one of these about 3 out of every 5 times we go out for Mediterranean. I can't blame her-- I've never had bad falafel anywhere. Thinking of taking a trip to D.C.? Ask Justin about a place he took me to-- I don't know what it's called, but it's dingy and dark, and J.C., do they have good falafel there.


And finally, another picture from our wedding (sigh)-- but this one's of food! Ha ha! Good save! The baklava we served is also the baklava they serve at T.O.L. They gave us the tip on where to buy it in bulk, those classy, classy sons-of-bitches. If you have no idea why I am raving over this baklava, you either didn't taste it, or haven't eaten much baklava. Either way, I feel bad for you.

My next post will be exclusively about the wedding food. Be prepared.
