You like other place's Greek and Lebanese? Compared to Arzi, serops and albasha?
Simple plate lunch Pilaf, cut schwarma, humus, and a greek salad.... should be as standard as cheeseburger and fries.
So far, chicken seems boiled with curry(liquid/rubbery) like it wasn't cooked on the rotisserie, and the gyro meat has been bland as frick and oily. Little to no charing/crispiness at at least 10 places I've tried in the last few years.
I get, "oh Ethiopian food is great outside of Louisiana" being that I don't think we have one, but im talking about even BBQ seems off. Dry, funny tastes (like "oooo, let's try cardamom to the recipe to 'elevate' the taste profile" garbage)
Just not feeling the joy, have to only goto places where I don't have some sort of benchmark to compare, because there really hasn't been a comparison.

I'd find it hard to believe that you can't find something equally as good in San Diego or San Fransisco but I haven't tried those cuisines in those cities so I won't pretend to know any better.
That being said I do think the Lebanese food is pretty good in Baton Rouge for the most part.

Maybe the confusion is not knowing the difference between Greek and Middle Eastern/Arabic food???
