What will we see in this former Rub’ al Khali?
This casual Mediterranean place from owner Christopher Totah will serve falafel wrapped in lavash ($6.95, or $7.95 with potatoes and eggplant); chicken or lamb shwarma ($7.95)—the meat will reportedly be “natural” but not organic…
Er, halal?
It’s due to open on Tuesday June 1st but call first before heading over—delays could still occur.
Any bets?

Oh, it’ll be *natural* lamb. And not the artificial kind grown in test tubes in laboratories. Good.
In western Canada, there’s a chain of hot dog carts called Mr Tube Steak, no word of a lie.

Ha! A perfect post is as rare as perfect toast.
