Abdul El-Sayed is for 'shawarma law'. Where to try his favorite, others

Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed, this week joked that he is for "shawarma" not "Sharia" law, when speaking to reporters this week. "Do not believe the people who say I'm for Sharia law, I'm for shawarma law," El-Sayed said at a campaign stop in Macomb County. The joke made light of those who are concerned that El-Sayed, the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Senate, will force all Americans to adhere to the religious concepts of Islam, an accusation he has denied. El-Sayed during the conversation then recommended Detroit-area shawarma shop Amo Samis , which operates several locations throughout southeast Michigan. "I want to explain what the tenets of shawarma law are. If you get a shawarma and it's got lettuce in it, it's not shawarma, it's just a sandwich. Someone has lied to you," El-Sayed said on the food. What makes for good shawarma? If you've already tried El-Sayed's favorite, here's a look at five other places to try to the food first created in Turkey. More: El-Sayed calls Vance habibi in victory speech. What does it mean? What is shawarma? Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made from thin slices of marinated meat — usually chicken, beef, lamb,

5 Best Restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Ann Arbor, Michigan — a city where the red-brick streets pulse with the footsteps of students and professors, where the Huron River winds through neighborhoods stitched with memory and hope, where murals bloom on alley walls and the scent of coffee, curry, and barbecue drifts through the air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Victorian homes with wraparound porches, glassy new towers, and the gentle sprawl of parks and gardens. Ann Arbor is a crossroads — of old-timers and new arrivals, of artists, engineers, and dreamers, of families who picnic on the Diag and musicians who busk beneath the sycamores.

5 Best Restaurants in Toledo, Ohio You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Toledo, Ohio — a city where the Maumee River glides beneath bridges old and new, where glass and steel rise beside brick warehouses, and the laughter of families, artists, and dreamers mingles on tree-lined avenues. Here, the skyline is a patchwork: art deco towers, murals blooming on downtown walls, and the steady hum of industry softened by the warmth of neighborhood diners. Toledo is a crossroads — of Midwestern grit and quiet hope, of auto workers and musicians, of immigrants whose recipes and stories have become the city’s own.

This Unassuming Michigan Steakhouse Serves Old-School Angus Cuts And Serious Ribeyes

One owner hand-cuts somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 steaks every single week. That is a lot of knife work before anyone even fires up the broiler. The family behind this place learned the craft the old-fashioned way. Their patriarch worked as a broiler man at Detroit’s famous London Chop House back in the 1960s. That kind of training still shows up on a modern dinner plate.
