Amy and i are up north in the ancient city of aco. This photo is of one of the country's most notorious humus spots and it is always packed like nobody's business. The name of the place is Humus Said and requires waiting about 30 minutes in a line out the door of the restaurant that spills onto the street. The line is so packed and chaotic that it can be a tense 30 minutes. Plus, if you're not on your guard it could easily turn into 40 minutes by not noticing some opportunistic locals that shamelessly force their way in front of you. By the time you're seated however there is a general feeling of relief and camaraderie with all the other patrons who know that good things come to those who wait.
Not many places that are hyped up as much as this spot can live up to the expectation but in this case it is well worth it. I didn't know humus could taste like this. Wow. Not bad for 14 shekel (about $3.50). It was one of many great things Amy and I experienced on this trip.
