I used to eat at a Lebanese place for lunch 3 times a week from 2003-2005 then I switched jobs. I would still drop in periodically if I was in the area. I sorta got to know the owner. I think in about 2008 he sold that location (I assumed he sold the business). A new location popped up and while ‘good’ it wasn’t the same. I assumed new owners did this. I went maybe 10x over the past 17 years. Last week, I was driving through a sketchy part of town actually trying to decide if I should just grab DQ or skip lunch. I saw a place I hadn’t seen before and it had the name of this place (Desert Bakery). I thought, what the hell - let’s see.

Upon entering, I was greeted by the original owner that I hadn’t seen in over 15 years. He said hi, great to see you again old friend… anyway, the place looks newly opened, it is identical to the original place, same great people, wonderful food. He told me to make sure I came back soon and threw in some complimentary baklava. I can’t wait to go back.
