Out of Business

It's finally happened- popular Detroit Middle Eastern restaurant chain La Shish is out of business. When the owner flees to Lebanon to avoid millions in income taxes, then starts speaking at Hezbollah events, lets his wife go to jail for him instead of coming back and facing the music, and vouches for phony marriages so a woman can infiltrite the CIA and pass info on hezbollah- I can't believe they haven't closed sooner! Too bad, the food was great, but there are plenty of other tasty Middle Eastern restaurants in the area! (the new Ike's on Van Dyke in Sterling Heights is a favorite of mine - their hummus was much better than La Shish! )
