Byblos Mediterranean Grill Anaheim

So, how did the Pappy Van Winkle pair with the hummus?

The same question could’ve applied to the Eagle Rare 17-Year or the William Larue Weller lined up next to that dram of Pappy Van Winkle for an extra, upper top shelf flight.

I was at @byblosrestaurants , specifically the location in Elmwood.

It’s a Middle Eastern restaurant in a shopping center with a view of a T.J. Maxx across the parking lot.

Beside the kebabs and shawarma, co-owner Tarek Tay has turned his personal bourbon obsession into a playground for whiskey lovers.

With about 200 different labels and growing, the list runs from affordable to astronomical, with many rare and allocated bottles.

“I’ve declared myself the king of bourbon at a Middle Eastern restaurant,” the restaurateur said with a laugh.

Pass me some hot pita and another dram, then hit the link in my bio for the full read on this unlikely find and the happy hour deals that have made this family friendly restaurant into a bar for Elmwood as well
