The Sheik

Camel Rider (also known as the Desert Rider at other places) with fries and a Cherry Lime-Aid. a good ol' fashion Duval County classic from The Sheik. Some people prefer the Stack N Sack but that is never agreeable with my tummy.

Here is a great article if you want to learn more about the origins of the Camel Rider in Jacksonville and it's middle eastern origins. It's not a fancy foodie food but it is one of my local favorites and it really is a part of history. I think alot of times especially with how mismanaged the city has been for a very long time we aren't aware of some of the cool stuff around town and alot of the history.

Had lunch with my cousin at Karam's Mediterranean Grill the other day. Good Stuff, I had the Shwarma Meat Plate with Falafel, Hummus and Pita. The Shwarma is very well seasoned and the hummus was well made. Also loved that it came with jalapenos and a red pepper. Definitely one of my top 5 places for middle eastern food in Jacksonville. I'll probably make a list later on. If you want to check it out the address is: 4241 University Blvd S, Jacksonville, FL 32216

Update: 09/26/2021 Seems that this location is now closed. Will def miss the great food.
