We visit three New Orleans area Middle Eastern restaurants for a Middle East Food Tour and to enjoy a Middle East Feast of gyro, shawarma, hummus, kibby/kibbeh, pita and a few stuffed grape leaves. For the combo plate entree of the gyro and shawarma plate there can ONLY be ONE top winner for the best entree and for the kibby/kibbeh there will also be just ONE top winner of my personal taste test preference. A surprise wild card winner for the stuffed grape leaves also shows up. The locations are all of Lebanese background with one surprise exception that is Egyptian. For the vegetarians and Vegans we even eat some salad too.
