kubidehkitchen.com: Welcome to Conflict Kitchen’s first iteration, Kubideh Kitchen. Developed in collaboration with members of the Pittsburgh Iranian community in Pennsylvania, the sandwich is packaged in a custom-designed wrapper that includes interviews with Iranians both in Pittsburgh and Iran on subjects ranging from Iranian food and poetry to the current political turmoil. Conflict Kitchen is a take-out restaurant that only serves cuisine from countries that the United States is in conflict with. The food is served out of a take-out style storefront, which will rotate identities every 4 months to highlight another country. Each Conflict Kitchen iteration will be augmented by events, performances, and discussion about the the culture, politics, and issues at stake with each county we focus on. Kubideh Kitchen is an Iranian take-out restaurant that serves kubideh in freshly baked barbari bread with onion, mint, and basil >>>

Way to go with that optimism! :)  

 

Thank you Foaad, Nice and colorful store front and the food looks yummy too. I wonder how many Iranians live near Pittsburgh.

 Keep it up, United States, and soon this kitchen will be serving all these dishes.

Fantastic idea!

All the Iranian-Persian restaurants should

by Iraniandudee3 on Sat Jun 05, 2010 02:18 PM PDT

come together and create a nation-wide restaurant in the U.s, cause Iranian food is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life, nothing comes close to it, not the Chinese, Italian, or Japanese food that other restautrants serve, so imagine if Americans are hooked on italian and Chinese, then what it would be like if they had a taste of Iranian food. I'm already seeing the results here in V.A and maryland with moby-dick spreading like wild fire.
