Do cookies count as a meal? Levain Bakery (NYC) chocolate cookies are the size of a brick, so I would say yes. The first time my future husband gave me one, I thought, "Now I understand why people commit sins of the flesh."
The first time I had a real blowout Persian feast was in Austin TX about 10 or so years ago at a buffet called Alborz. I had only ever tasted a few dishes prior. Lemmy preface with, I had an extreme hangover (we were there for friends’ wedding). Anyway, we smoked a ton of weed & I drove us to this buffet on what I think was the North side of town. It was a family Sunday extravaganza & the spread was glorious. Fresh stews, pillowy breads & jeweled rice dishes were coming out of the kitchen piping hot, kabobs grilling, pots of tea with rose & mint, so many salads. We must have spent over three hours there, in a gluttonous attempt to eat more. There were massive families enjoying the absolute bounty of fresh food & it literally changed my life forever. The next time I returned, demanding we go there again, I was devastated to learn of their closing. To this day I have not had better Ghormeh Sabzi.
