Inspired by a pal on Facebook, allow me to introduce you, if you haven't been already, to the San Francisco restaurants serving the food native to some of the seven countries that President Trump targeted in his ill-conceived executive order last week. The Bay Area is home to significant populations of Middle Eastern people including Persians/Iranians and more recently Syrians, and you can find restaurants featuring their cuisines as well as multiple others affected by the travel ban so take note of these if you're looking to make dinner plans this weekend.
