Ilili - A Traditional Lebanese Find
I’ve always been intrigued about Ilili on 5th ave. At least 5 random people in the same month have recommended this place to me. It’s the first Lebanese cuisine I’ve tried. I had such an amazing time! It definitely helped that my friend Inky is the Pastry chef. The experience was impeccable and memorable.
Tidbit: Lebanese Bologna

Sound gross?? BUT it’s actually hella good! I bumped into a colleague who offered me some. I was excited when I saw it but not initially because of its name (weird!). It is really tasty and delicious. It reminded me of genoa salami (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!). There were countless days (and nights!) where I’d get half a pound of it and dunk them in deli mustard… I would do this regularly once a week. Well, Lebanese bologna is quite similar in taste and in texture but the texture is slightly (very slightly) towards the bologna side.
Thanks FH for bringing some back from Philly!
