أفضل ما في المطبخ اللبناني | The Best of Lebanese Cuisine | [The Late] Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations | Travel Channel

Jun 22, 2024 | Anthony is in Beirut, Lebanon. He begins in the Beqaa Valley with a visit to Massaya Vineyard run by brothers Sami and Ramsay Goza. The vineyard specializes in high-quality arak, an anise-seed flavour liquor that Anthony describes as “sexy.”

Next, Anthony is at his friend Kamal’s house for a home-cooked meal. There’s oven-baked cauliflower, stuffed calamari, Fattoush, baba gannoush, and the most delicious kibbeh* [raw] (الكبة النيئة) Anthony has ever tasted. What else can you expect from Suzanne the “Kibbeh Queen”?!
