Babas Place

Event Description

The small menu, comprising a dozen or so options, roams freely, almost wildly, across borders and continents, often on the same plate. A meal might begin in Lebanon, with hummus and labne served with shards of crisp Afghan bread or perhaps at a suburban backyard barbecue, with a handful of chicken wings that wouldnt seem out of place at an izakaya. Then, you might jet off to Mexico for a platter of pork al pastor before winding up at a corner kebab shop for a side of chips with chicken and toum salt. These dishes are almost always underpinned by techniques that belie their simplicity, along with an obvious interest in fermentation.
