FRESH BITES – American
A family-run Lebanese kitchen in Tampa's Countryway, opened in 2012 by Samir and Anissa Khalife and cooking the food of their hometown of Jbeil. Everything is made from scratch daily, with organic and non-GMO produce where they can get it, antibiotic- and hormone-free meat and wild-caught fish. Beef and chicken shawarma come off the grill in thin slices with roasted vegetables, hummus and salad; the falafel arrives as six patties of mixed organic beans with tahini and pickled turnip. Diners keep returning for how clean the plates taste, and plenty make a midday detour just for a sandwich.
