In Pittsburgh, quislings and traitors have a new dining opportunity at the Kubideh Kitchen
Welcome to Conflict Kitchen's first iteration, Kubideh Kitchen. Conflict Kitchen is a take-out restaurant that only serves cuisine from countries that the United States is in conflict with. The food is served out of a take-out style storefront, which will rotate identities every 4 months to highlight another country. Each Conflict Kitchen iteration will be augmented by events, performances, and discussion about the the culture, politics, and issues at stake with each county we focus on.Kubideh Kitchen is an Iranian take-out restaurant that serves kubideh in freshly baked barbari bread with onion, mint, and basil. Developed in collaboration with members of the Pittsburgh Iranian community, the sandwich is packaged in a custom-designed wrapper that includes interviews with Iranians both in Pittsburgh and Iran on subjects ranging from Iranian food and poetry to the current political turmoil.
I'm left wondering if they'll be serving dishes like "Splattered Brains of Student Iranian Dissident" and showing entertaining video clips such as "Gay Iranian Boys Hanged in the Street." Will the waitresses be dragooned into wearing full burqas? Will there be Korans on a nail in the restrooms?
Sigh. That's just quisling and diseased America these days. So many outrages and traitors oozing out of the mud that you just can't keep the list up to date.

That adds a new dimension to the term "Catch Of The Day".
Posted by: Mumblix Grumph at June 6, 2010 5:55 PMIs this an actual 'conflict cafe' billed as such bythe usual suspects or is it simply a satire using a Persian restaurant?
Persian food per se ( kebabs, horisht, polo, etc) is absolutely delicious..and many of the restaurateurs are refugees from the Khomani regime.
My first experience with this cuisine was at a restaurant in L.A. where they barely spoke English, but I was able to communicate with them somehow that I'd never had this stuff before and they brought me a ton of small portions of various things to try and charged me for just the lunch special.
Posted by: Rob Miller at June 6, 2010 9:10 PMBy the end of the Bam-man's administration we'll be able to enjoy every type of cuisine at the Conflict Cafe EXCEPT Iranian, North Korean and Venezuelan.
And is anyone thinking of opening a conflict of interest cafe?
Posted by: Dewey From Detroit at June 6, 2010 9:41 PMThey are catering to elitists with such sissified fare. I bet there are plenty of conflict-averse youth who would be happy to git down with authentic U.N. rice, cooked to order. Tap water from Sanaa or Havana would be a nice touch.
Who wants to go to a Konflict Kafe and eat well?
