"This Mediterranean restaurant brings back its annual cookout, with an “Only in Htown” edition that will celebrate and showcase Lebanese, Filipino, Palestinian, and Peruvian cuisines. Filipino chef Gabriel Medina, formerly of Michael’s Cookie Jar, and ice cream shop Booza will team up with Craft Pita’s chef Rafael Nasr to offer unique dishes, including a Filipino Lechón shawarma rice bowl, featuring suckling pig that’s prepared shawarma-style, white rice, and a Filipino Salad. The chefs will also combine Booza’s pistachio ice cream with tahini snickerdoodle cookies from Michael’s Cookie Jar to create a flavorful ice cream sandwich, and Nasr will work with his mother Claudia Nasr to create a “mystery” dish that celebrates her Peruvian roots. The pop-up will be held at Craft Pita’s West University location from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Brittany Britto Garley
