Most people think Lebanese food begins and ends with shawarma… but there’s an entire world beyond it. I visited Alforon in San Diego and sat down with Chef George to hear the story behind his family, the influences that shaped his cooking, and the homemade dishes that keep Lebanese traditions alive. From fragrant ouzi and seafood sayadiyeh to ayesh saraya — a rich bread pudding dessert topped with pistachios — these are flavors and recipes rarely found in restaurants today!
