Excerpt
from
Eat
the
World
Los
Angeles:
2020
has
many
side
effects,
the
least
important
of
which
is
probably
the
inability
to
enjoy
a
few
cups
of
hot
tea
after
a
big
meal
at
Furn
Saj,
surrounding
yourself
with
the
gossip
from
other
tables
and
sounds
from
the
kitchen.
Thankfully
this
seven
year
old
restaurant
and
bakery
is
still
churning
out
the
same
quality
of
foods
that
have
made
it
both
a
local
favorite
and
something
worth
coming
long
distances
to
enjoy.
Some
people
will
say
the
magic
is
happening
on
the
multiple
shawarma
spits,
or
the
incredibly
light
falafel,
and
they
would
not
be
wrong.
But
the
true
marvel
of
Furn
Saj
is
happening
with
the
bread.
In
years
past
as
you
enjoyed
that
tea,
you
were
hovered
over
by
a
large
wall
mural
that
depicted
a
woman
stretching
out
dough
in
front
of
her
and
a
man
cooking
it
next
to
her.
They
are
both
in
deep
concentration,
making
sure
each
piece
of
saj
is
perfect.
Traditionally
the
bread
is
cooked
on
an
inverted
(convex)
griddle
that
most
people
in
Los
Angeles
would
call
a
comal,
but
in
the
Levant
the
instrument
is
called
a
saj
and
where
the
bread
gets
its
name
from.
