Day 7: Beef Kebabs from Paramount

Paramount Fine Foods is a Lebanese restaurant on Yonge, just north of Queen. I've walked by the place many many times, but had never actually gone in. I've always seen hordes of customers in there, just really enjoying their food. So I finally went in. The place has the aroma of charcoal, which just whets the appetite. As part of the meat platter was this beef kebab, which is freshly grilled - as you can see from the photo, they have tons of them, just waiting to be cooked. They had a hint of cinnamon flavour and the texture was soft. For me, I love to take middle eastern food, and mix it up with all the sauces and salad drippings into a big mush, which is completely unrecognizable from its original form, but the flavour is awesome, miraculously. A truly solid kebab that held its own! Freshness makes all things good.
