15 photos of glorious Lebanese sandwiches from Dearborn's King's Bakery

Does the genre of Lebanese sandwiches — the shawarma, falafel, and others we're lucky to know so well in metro Detroit because of our generations-deep Lebanese population — need to be reinvented?

Probably not. There's a reason for the sandwiches' longevity, so it really doesn't need attention. But sometimes a chef comes up with a slight enhancement — a "modern interpretation," as they say — to an old standard, and it really works. And that's what we have with King's Bakery chef Ali Houssaiky's "manouwich."

We reviewed the restaurant. Check out our review here.
