I will do a yelp of Cairo and post suggestions this week. what part of cairo do you live or work around?

felix rex · « **Reply #510 on:** September 29, 2012, 04:41:13 PM »

Live in Maadi. Work in Garden City (downtown). Maybe only do super serious reviews of the fancy McD in Maadi and the Hardee's in Tahrir (near office)?

So they've replaced the crust of the pizza with cream cheese-filled cones or honey mustard chicken-filled cones or both? Huh.

I somehow picture Garden City, Eqypt to be as flat, dry, and awful as Garden City, Kansas.

Why does the Middle East get such awesome pizza hut creations? Are they afraid us hayseed Americans wouldn't understand it?

Did you see the mini-cheeseburger crust one? Holy crap those guys are next-level thinking all over the place.

Yep. UK gets the Hog Dog crust. Middle East gets the burger crust AND cone crust.

America sticks with "thin crust beef".

Hot Dog crust was the most f'd up one by far, imo

Still haven't faced down the McArabia. Am building up the courage. Ate Korean sushi at a place across the street today. Confidence level risING!

I read this as chupacabra initially. You can imagine some of the questions that immediately came to mind.

FWIW, companies use these markets as test grounds. For example I remember seeing 4 door pickups in Chile in the 90's, way before we had them here.
