Hummus ma Lahma with Yucatecan Flavors

The connection between hummus and tortilla chips isn't as farfetched as it may seem. Lebanese immigrants have a long history in Mexico, especially in the states of Puebla and Yucatán. I ate at a Yucatecan restaurant in Los Angeles once and found kibbe (a Middle Eastern meatball made with ground lamb and bulgur) listed among the appetizers. A regional specialty of Puebla is tacos arabes -- tacos served on pita bread rather than tortillas. And the Mexican standard tacos al pastor -- tacos filled with spice-rubbed meat sliced off a vertical spit -- was, by some accounts, inspired by Middle Eastern shawarma.

Hummus ma lahma is a hearty Lebanese treatment of hummus that tops the already rich chickpea puree with spiced ground beef. Here's what I imagine a second- or third-generation Lebanese-Mexican in Yucatán might do with this dish: give the beef a local flavor with hot peppers, olives, raisins, and capers. The beef topping is inspired by the filling in a Yucatecan specialty, queso relleno (hollowed-out balls of Gouda filled with seasoned ground meat), and is inspired by Rick Bayless' pork-based queso relleno filling.

What grad school taught me: The wonders of Lebanese-Mexican hummus

Anyone at Brooklyn Bowl yet? I know they said not to line up prior to 7, but I can't imagine that will work for them. How is the line looking?

Hate to break the news kids but there is already a pretty long line at Brooklyn Bowl. It started around the corner and goes all the way down the street. So much for that stupid no line up's till 7 which really meant no line up's out front but around the corner is fine.
