Khourys Mediterranean Restaurant: $25 Restaurant Gift Card

The winner of this package will receive a $25 Restaurant Gift Card to Khourys Mediterranean Restaurant

As a little boy in Beirut, Lebanon, Antoine would come to watch his grandmother cook. It fascinated him to see her knead bread, chop vegetables, and take a pinch of this and a little of that from mysterious little jars. Antoine was an accomplished chef by the time he joined the Lebanese Army in 1947. Though he wasn't an army cook, he couldn't stay out of the kitchen. The special little meals he fixed while off-duty quickly caught the attention of the officers. Antoine soon married Leila, a lovely Lebanese girl, and together they produced nine healthy children. The children come in later in the story. Together they opened their first restaurant on a hillside in Beirut. Lebanon's civil war forced Antoine and Leila to leave their country for a home where their children's education would not include how to use an M-16 rifle. Ironically then, it was the strife of a war that brought America the good fortune of having authentic Lebanese restaurants. For over 30 years now, Antoine, Leila, and their children owned and operated authentic Lebanese restaurants in Fort Worth, Dallas, and Las Vegas. One of the nine children is Mariz who was destined to meet Issa, but first lets meet Issa's mom.
Dia was born in Amman Jordan where she learned all the wonderful Jordanian cooking. She worked as a seamstress for the King in her spare time. Dia was one of 8 kids and then had 8 kids of her own. Cooking was unavoidable with this family. As soon as someone mentions a gathering, Dia calculates how many cups of rice and how many pounds of meat she would need to prepare the main dish. Issa was one of her sons and was a professional at tasting and knowing good Mediterranean food.
