High school buddies, Mahmoud Barkawi and Osama Shabaik, combined their Egyptian and Syrian backgrounds to bring authentic Middle Eastern flavors to San Diego. Guy loved the shaved Chicken Shawarma, which is piled onto a salad, crispy fries or house-made pita. They make their falafel the Egyptian way with fava beans instead of garbanzo beans. “That’s no joke,” raved Guy.
This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbing all kinds of grub, starting at a funky little Italian joint in Wilmington, Del., serving outrageous arancini and veal scaloppini. In San Diego, a Middle Eastern street food spot slaying with shawarma and first-rate falafel. And in Vancouver, British Columbia, a not-your-typical pizza place toppin' things off with lamb sausage and pig cheeks.
