Ever Try Shakshuka?

Double Date at Hummus Kitchen last night. It's a delightful little neighborhood spot with casual vibe, tasty food, and a no-rush attitude. The prices are fair, the dishes are good proportions with lots of flavor, and the staff is genuinely Israeli. I had the shaksuka.

Shakshuka is a pan-fried casserole of poached eggs and spicy tomato sauce with peppers and add-ons like spinach, beans, sausages, etc. My first exposure to the dish was at Dr. Shakshuka in Jaffa, Israel. Dr. Shak is a very highly-rated Shakshuka joint that been around for generations. Nothing delights me more than international foodie-ism - seeking out the foodie spots that the foodie natives visit in their own countries.

On that same trip, I also seized the opportunity to taste "The Best Shawarma in Israel".
