You Can Never Have Too Much Garlic

Over the summer Hubby Tony and I went to the taping of a Travel Channel show at Saleem's West restaurant. We were told the episode would air this fall, so I kept expecting to hear about the date. However, last week I received an email, which said in part:
Travel Channel is at it AGAIN! They are coming out to re-film. One of the cameras they were using had a malfunction when they uploaded it to the server.
The re-filming was tonight.  Guess where we ate dinner?

Traffic was bad on the way home from work tonight, and it was almost 7:00 by time we got to the restaurant.  Just like last time, there was a sign on the door stating that if you didn't want to be filmed you shouldn't enter--which we ignored.  It was fun to watch the film crew at work while we ate our way through appetizers of roasted garlic and garlic potato dip, entrees of Chicken Safina and Falafel-Tabouli Combo, and Lebanese Ice Cream for dessert.

Although they asked us to sign a release form, I think that if we show up on TV it will just be as part of the background.  I'll still be looking forward to watching the show, though...when it finally airs.
