When I wrote about the shuttering of yet another book store, I referenced my search for a restaurant. That restaurant is Raffi’s Place.

 

Many years ago, a friend introduced Mister and me to Raffi’s Place, located in Glendale, CA. They serve Middle Eastern food. I say they serve Armenian food. I say this because one of the largest populations of Armenian people – outside Armenia – is in Glendale, CA.

 

Forgive me if my information is faulty, but it is my understanding that Armenians began settling in Glendale, CA in the 1920’s. This would have been just after the Armenian genocide began (1915). There was a mass exodus of citizens from Armenia and for some reason or another many Armenians settled in Glendale. I’m simplifying history, I know. I apologize.

 

But whatever the facts, we have some spectacular food in Glendale. And Raffi’s Place is my very most favoritest Middle Eastern restaurant around. If you’re ever visiting, do yourself a favor and go there.

 

You’re welcome.
