    Notos Southern Bites (Kabob), Laurel MD

    Naseer and his brother, the Ahmad brothers, did one of my overall favorite things – combined American Southern fried chicken with the Mediterranean kabobs, shawarmas, curries, and sauces in their humble, no-frills Notos Southen Bites (or Notos Kabob Halal) in Laurel, MD.

Nice smaller chain spot which usually means one of my most important factors – everything is efficient and streamlined, just the…

    Backyard Barbeque, Arlington VA

    Backyard Barbeque is a cozy spot in Arlington, VA for all your barbeque meat needs and even some healthy options like salsa and salads. Highly recommend this place.
