Next time I remodel my kitchen ... scratch that... if and when I remodel my kitchen ... scratch that... if I had a kitchen to remodel ... I'm definitely going to make it a Pita Kitchen. This place is pretty much as hole-in-the-wall as it gets... there's a window from the street, and a counter inside, but either way, the givers-o-Grub take your order from a sunken kitchen about two feet below ground-level. It probably has something to do with the perfect elevation for shwarma... or the just-right conditions for tahini... or maybe it's just because the Kitchen of the Pita is just that one-of-a-kind. The building itself feels like it's been around forever... but also kind of feels like it started out as a little old woman's house. We traditionally go for the ultra-tender, super-flavorful beef shish kabob lafa wrap. What is a lafa wrap you ask? It's sort of like a cross between a pita sandwich and a burrito... it's like a genetics experiment gone terribly... right. What is a kabob you ask? ... Yeah, you can go home now. Whatever your filling, from falafel to kafta, just make sure you get it with the works. This means asking for extra tahini sauce, spicy peppers, and the classic neon purple, I-don't-care-what-they've-done-to-them-so-that-they-taste-this-good, turnips. If you feel like being bold, throw down for your choice of meat served on a plate with pita bread and two of their so-good-they-might-as-well-be-their-own-meal sides. Just be careful when they ask you for your choices, because we're not talking about choosing between a house salad and a baked potato... we're talking about the likes of humus, eggplant salad, taboli, and babaganoush. If you've never had babaganoush... more importantly, if you've never had the Pita Kitchen's babaganoush... you might think before trying it out. Because once you do, there's no telling what kind of self-inflicted punishment you'll bring upon yourself for waiting this long. Come to think of it, that goes for everything at the Pita Kitchen. Because at the Pita Kitchen they don't just cook up some amazing Grub... they flat out dominate it. Like Flo-Jo in a game of duck-duck-goose... with third graders... un-athletic ones. Duck... duck...duck...duck... GOOD GRUB!
