Are you familiar with the threads of Lebanese culture that are woven through the majestic tapestry of the cuisines of Mexico? Whether it's tacos Arabes from Puebla, the kibbeh culture of the Caribbean coast or the role the sharwarma played in the evolution of tacos al pastor, the contribution and influence of Lebanese migration has enriched the food of Mexico in varied and delicious ways.
This Melbourne Food & Wine festival, Taco Truck founder and snack enthusiast Raph Rashid teams up with hummus king Tom Sarafian to explore the meeting of these two grand culinary traditions at Wesley Place. They’ll be giving you a chance to try Lebanese-style tacos and Mexico’s answer to kibbeh, brought to life by two friends who also happen to be two of the city’s premier snack bosses.
And, best of all they’re free. That’s right amigos, they’re giving these good things to you for zero dollars. Muy caliente.
