I went, I had it, and it is as awesome as described. Mrs. Lodge said she could smell the garlic coming out of my pores from all the way upstairs when I got home. My apologies to the other patrons at Cliff Bell's that night enjoying the Hot Club of Detroit CD release party. |

Nah, she had worked all day and wasn't up for it. Next week I'll take her to Pegasus for the vegetarian platter and some OPA! to make up for it. |

Johnlodge: Did you get in to see the Hot Club of Detroit at Cliff Bell's? We couldn't make it as Dave got a last-minute gig, but we heard from our friends in the band that it was packed, SRO, and we heard of others who couldn't get in at all. Sounds like it was a terrific gig! |

Thanks. I've gotten in from the Lebanese Grill in Troy, and it's very good, as are the Shish Tawook and Shish Kafta. I'll make a point of trying it at the Downtown spots |

Yeah, we got there just as it reached capacity. We had to stand in line for about 15 minutes. Then we got in. By that time, the line was pretty long, and well into the second set the door guy said there were still people out there waiting to get in. We played musical tables as people would leave and ended up working our way to a decent table. |

Kathleen- I am still holding you totally responsible for all this schwarma "mess". I warned y'all that the stuff is like crack, it is so addictive! Enjoy, and I'm glad to see a Detroit business getting all the patronage that that place gets! Every time we go there the lines seem longer and longer...... |

With all of this garlic chat, I can't believe no one has preached the garlic crack sauce... It'll ooze out of your pores with no apologies. Sorry I didn't have a chance to pick some up before heading to Fort Wayne over the weekend! Cub, I'll bring some next time I come to the garden. |

The "Shawarma Salad" is more like a Fatoush Salad with Chicken. It's damn good, not as much garlic. |

I cannot get away from ordering the Chicken Schwarma...but their curly fries kick it as well. Nobody I know has ever been disappointed with their food there. Of course, many of them have been imbibing the Park's excellent choice of Michigan-brewed beers at the time...heh...and laughing a lot. |
