One Shawarma at a Time

(October 2021, Issue 112) The aromas at this Middle Eastern shawarma shop are irresistible. As Eddie roasts a spire of lamb on an upright skewer, customers hang out to eat, have some strong coffee or maté tea, and chat with Eddie. In addition to making food, Eddie makes time for people.

Embrace It!

Embrace It!
