I love me some lamb and I love me some rice. So bam, done! \n\nMy friend, who I was with, is very educated on the subject of Salem's so I let her decide the dish for me. I swear she said the dishes name to me three times and I still can't remember what it was called, technically. So take note, I will be updating with the name! I told the guy I love lamb so he dished out four BIG portions of lamb chops. He won me over right there! \n\nThe first time I went I was a little on the fence about the place. I ordered a lamb (of course) gyro. It had WAY too much lamb and not enough veggies. I like lamb, but not that much! Plus, I think I may be used to getting them at fairs where they dump a ton of that sauce (Greek, ranch, who knows, it's good!) into it. So this was just ok for me. \n\nSecond adventure in, success! \n\nI love spicy foods, but I'm a mess eating them. I cry. I snot. See....a hot mess. But I still do it anyway! So I blew my nose through the whole helping. I seriously wolfed the whole thing down. It was VERY good! I know cumin is a very prominent spice in these sort of dishes but I'm not a fan of a ton of it, because then the dish gets too sweet. It had just the right touch of it! \n\nI always stare at the desserts, so I REALLY need to splurge soon. Hello, who DOESN'T like baklava!? Good thing it's only a block from work. There will be many more trips, perhaps to walk off the calories of future baklava purchases and consumption!"^^ . . "2011-04-23T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ .
