Falafel is Fantastic
So I was introduced to falafel when I lived in Chicago, and I have to be honest, I was skeptical of it at first, but after I tried it I became a believer! Personally, when I go to a place that has falafel I like to get it as an appetizer as opposed to the meat of my gryo. But if you haven't tried it yet, take it from me (a red-blooded American male), it's good!
