Old Yerevan in Glendale

Hadn't had a meal with artist Jeffery James Mohr. (Sashiburi jp.) He had to get some motorcycle parts so I tagged along, knowing we would get a bite to eat sometime during the journey. There's a huge Armenian population there, so it wasn't hard to spot a place. Had no idea what to look for. Old Yerevan, 1351 E Colorado ST, Glendale CA 91205 looked good so we walked in. I guess we were the first customers because they turned on all the lights in the place when we walked in. We basically asked the server, an older Armenian man who reminded me of Lou Grant (Ed Asner) from the old Mary Tyler Moore sitcom, what he recommended. We ordered the Old Yerevan combo. That's a no brainer. Well, it turned out the server was also the chef because Jeff saw him turn on the stove in the back. Yet, something told me this was going to be good and I said so to Jeff. Out came some Armenian breads, feta cheese and butter that was fresh and delicious. The lunch plates arrived with a mountain of basmati rice and several skewers of chicken kabob and Luleh kabob Filet Mignon along with grilled tomatoes, peppers and onions. Oh mann, this was some good eats. We were laughing on our way to the car we were so full. We practically rolled out fo that place. oh, and the hummus kicked our butts, so much garlic, so good.
