NYC Chef Franklin Becker Debuts Two Ghost Kitchens in West Philly - Eater Philly

"Israeli-inspired Shai sends out variations of hummus and other Mediterranean dishes and sides. Becker, co-founder of fast-casual chain The Little Beet, taps into his veggie and vegan experience with hummus, falafel, and a chickpea stew and parsley salad at Shai. There’s also spit-roasted chicken shawarma flanked with eggplant, onions, preserved lemons, and pickled raisins. Accompaniments include Middle Eastern sauces and condiments, harissa (hot chili paste), and whipped sesame tahini with extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, salt and lemon juice. Seasonal sides include cumin roasted carrots, grilled beets, and sweet potatoes finished with olive oil, sea salt, and Turkish chile pepper known as urfa biber. All orders come with pita bread made daily." - Tierney Plumb
