My Food, My Country

Chicago's ABC News reports on an Iranian restaurant

ABC: Chicago has a handful of Persian restaurants, but when my friend Firouzeh Naghdi longs for the flavors she remembers as a child, she always heads to Noon O Kabab in Albany Park. "This is called kashk-o bademjan. It's basically pureed eggplant with whey - which is sort of like yogurt - and then you got caramelized onion, lots of garlic, mint," Naghdi said >>>

your comment reminded me of an old friend going to Tehran back in the 90's

And said these street merchants in Shahyad  were selling their stuffs and in a co-ordinated tunes and one was yelling Azadi (news papeper),the other one selling Tir ?,the other one Bahman (cigarettes) and last one selling ZERESHK.         

AZADI,TIR,BAHMAN,ZERESHK.            Maziar

Speaking of psychological subliminal messages, the lady mentioned, "Zereshk" reminds her of her own wedding!

kashko bademjoon

by Parthianshot91 on

 Alot of them aren't the real thing cause they don't put kashk in them but yogurt instead, I guess so that it lasts longer and doesn't go bad, so it really tastes gross, nothing like the home made one's that's for sure, atleast it's like that at moby dick, how about over there?

Anyone live in V.A?

by Parthianshot91 on

Moby dick is the most succesful Iranian Persian restaurant over here in V.a and maryland. Americans and foreigners can't get enough of Iranian food, so I see a bright future for such businesses. Imagine if all these Persian restaurants got together.

Hi! Comrade,

      LOL! I think you are wired up to the political debates.....that is why you hear "nuke" when it is actually "noon".......LOL! Please relax......this program is strictly about Persian food......no politics involved......I think the reporter is great......he went all the way to mention Persia.......he did not say IRI.......he said "Iran"..he is pretty sophisticated!......he is very sincere and he wanted to compliment the food in Farsi........but Farsi is just too hard for him to say! :O)

I can never let go the dots......'cause my posts are not important!

Take care!

Psychological dish

by comrade on

The reporter almost pronounced it Nuke O Kabab.

eggplant

by Dirty Angel on

Eggplant sounds like gorging oneself on placenta. Call it aubergine, it might be more digestible.

Great TV special.....very thorough coverage....the food reporter guy has an enviable job.........part of his work is eating/tasting the fancy food...and getting paid for that!

A pleasant reminder

I actually have been in that very restaurant and I enjoyed both the service and the food. The owner is very nice and it is a very clean environment. It is recemonded.

I've even seen a restaurant called "Tadiq"! So your big idea's been taken, brother.

Myself, I've never been fond of eggplant.

Tadig

by John on

It seems that I've lost my opportunity to become a millionaire.  I've long told my future wife that someone should open a restaurant that specializes in tadig, but I see now that, at least in Chicago, there is already someone creating a standalone tadig dish.
