Photo essay: Califire Iranian American fast food kabob
I figured this event would be interesting since it highlights the fact that Persian kabob has crossed over into the American pop culture.
Califire Grill in Fulerton, southern California, is probably the first true Iranian American fusion brand as a fast-food eatery where kabob koobideh is served with somagh-flavored fries and packaged in a very California way. These are photos of a Califire contest where fraternity and sorority houses battle for first prize.

Perhaps if I try it and it works it can be patented! The sales can go to i.com and JJJ can make billions, sorry millions depending on whether or not we can sell it in the Iranian market inside Iran and not be affected by sanctions!

by Faramarz on Tue Apr 10, 2012 06:13 AM PDTThat looks like an aluminum door/window frame that you can find at HomeDepot. But I think that they are using it as a gimmick to serve the Kabob in a Man vs. Food way.
Koobideh needs to be on open fire so the fat drips. If you look at the clip of the restaurant, they make the kabob with skewers.
That's a new way to make kubideh!
