East Eats West

esYou may have heard that Lebanon is an East meets West kind of country.  There is truly no place on earth that has it's mix of cultures.  Upon visiting Beirut, you might be surprised to find that along with the call to prayer played 5 times a day and great Mediterraean cuisine (amoung many), there are many many American restaurant chains.  I've pictured a few below for your viewing pleasure.

Restaurants not pictured (that I can think of ):  KFC; Chilli's; TGI Friday's

And just in case food isn't enough, Beirut also has many American retatilers ready to let you use your purchasing power to feel right at home.
