I'm not working today -- yay for PAs that go on 2-week vacations to Switzerland and leave the office needing only 2 nurses! So that means I had time to meet Paul for lunch. We met at a little hole-in-the-wall Moroccan place in Aurora.
The place was virtually empty. Paul commented that it's weird how little places like that can stay open for years and years when every time he's there they have next to no customers. He hypothesized that they're actually a front for the Moroccan Mafia or something. I don't care what they might be fronting for -- the food was delicious!
We shared a vegetable and lentil soup called harrira, a plate called the Middle East Combination -- comprised of hummus, baba ghanouj and falafel -- and an artichoke salad with the best raspberry vinaigrette dressing I've ever tasted. We also had cups of Moroccan mint tea that was really tasty and warming. We're definitely going back, hopefully soon.
What struck me as funny about the place was the incongruity of the music they played. The walls, dishes, tablecloths, furniture and artwork were all very distinctly Middle Eastern in design. But they had a CD player going with Kenny G. They're definitely fronting for something.
