He is a great guy, and he now runs his own restaurant just 3 miles down the road from my job. His uncle's name is Fikret. They made the best hummus, yogurt sauce, and lamb dishes I've ever had. Enjoy the forum! It has saved me countless dollars and headaches over the years. It's also left my wallet a little lighter if you know what I mean Take care, Fred
