A couple weeks ago I found myself in Orange for lunch and I was craving PCH Hot Dogs but had no cash on me so I went to one of my old favorites, Sassoon Chicken. It has been a couple years since my last visit because I actually thought they had closed. Fortunately I was wrong so I got my old standby.
The Beef Shawerma Plate ($8.95) is a tasty mix of spices and herbs that just make my mount ask for more. Along with a bunch of beef, the plate comes with some lettuce (they call it a salad but it has no dressing), 2 pitas, garlic hummus, and tahini sauce. I basically eat it like I would eat carne asada, rip off a piece of pita, toss in some meat, and dip it in hummus and tahini to get an explosion of flavors cascading in my mouth.
It definitely was a great visit and brought back memories of why I enjoyed their food in the first place.
