- The Lebanese Club: Authentic Middle Eastern Cuisine My introduction to Middle Eastern cuisine was nowhere near picture perfect. In retrospect, it plays out like an episode of Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods. In my defense, I was about 8 years old and a very picky eater. On Fridays, My grandfather would treat my brother and I to dinner at the Lebanese Club. He […]
