- 50% alcohol?

- What?

- Whoa!

(Syrian music)

- Syrian Food?

- Oh.

- I know nothing about Syrian food.

- Nada.

- Bring it on.

- Al Mimas Arak, 100 proof.

- Holy shit.

- They know how to get down.

(laughs)

- Oh, man!

- It's like Dimetapp, Robitussin.

It's growing on me every time I put it back.

(laughs)

- To the top, you heard the lady.

- Activate the grape!

- Whoa!

- I hate black licorice.

- It burns!

- It's like what I imagine perfume tastes like.

- I'm not Syrian enough.

Keith, I'm really drunk.

- We are a little bit tipsy.

- We are pretty tipsy.

- I think it's gonna freak out the white in you, and uh...

- (screams) I just saw it!

(screams)

(laughs)

- Eww, don't pick it up!

Get that away from me!

(laughs)

- This is clearly stuffed into intestines.

- Possibly. (laughs)

- It looks like something I've created before.

(retches)

- It smells incredible.

- Oh yeah!

- There's rice, again.

- Was that garlic?

Get that garlic all on my bowels.

- This doesn't taste bad at all.

- Tastes like garlic.

- This is just a branding problem.

- You can get past the look.

It's worth it.

- Diamond meatball stew.

- Ooh!

(retches)

- Ooh I like that.

- Mmm.

- Mmm.

- Oh yeah.

- Oh man, I love it!

- I don't know.

- What is that?

- All I know is that it's good as fuck.

- It's so briny.

- Kinda sour.

- Mucusy.

- Creamy, it's a little powdery.

- [Voiceover] So it's yogurt?

It's yogurt?

- Really?

- What?

- Nothing is more off-putting than the idea of warm yogurt.

- Somebody invented this dish when they were like,

"Oh no, my yogurt!

It's still outside!"

- Now wait, wait, wait, it's not totally bad.

I've got some meatballs.

- Hey cutie pie.

Aww!

- Aww!

- It's like a little Bambi.

- What?

- Syrian pizza!

- Smells like a Jamaican beef patty.

- Is it meat baklava?

- It smells like pumpkin pie and sausage.

- Cheers.

- There's even some cinnamon.

- Like a meat pastry.

- I would definitely eat this again.

- Fuck yeah.

- Bitch, I wasn't done with that.

- Certainly something like my mom would make.

Is this goat?

- Are there raisins in here?

- There's all these like, great, warm spices.

- Oh my gosh, this is cinnamony.

Smell that?

Say goodbye to the rice.

- I smell that cardamom.

- Oh my God, that is so good.

- This is bomb as fuck.

- So flavorful.

- This is everything.

- That is melt in your mouth chicken.

- You don't really need teeth for any of this food.

- You can call me, boom, Tim Tebow because this is taybeh.

- You can give me that maqloubeh any day, child, shit.

- Cake time.

Cake, cake, cake, cake.

- Whoo.

- Syrian cake, Syrian cake.

- Let's find out what meat we're having now.

- Uh.

- Oh my gosh, it's so gunky.

Is this uncooked dough?

- Texture's just right.

- I can't watch you do that

and then want to eat it. (laughs)

- It's got like a floral accent to it.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the pistachios won't quit.

They are just like mmm.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

- It's all cheese.

- Oh my God.

- It's great.

- The pastry is so sweet.

Mmm.

- Make a wedding cake in Knafeh.

- I'm marrying you.

- Seriously.

- Did you say Syria-sly?

- Ohhhhhhh.

- Nailed it.

- Yeah.

- They are beautiful people with a beautiful culture,

and beautiful food.

- That's good stuff.

- Yeah.

- Holy shit.

(belch)

- Ohhhh.

I think that was the booze.
