Odeh’s Mediterranean Kitchen — Cherry

This one wasn’t a commission. Nobody asked for it.

We were heading to Odeh’s for dinner one evening — same as we’d done plenty of times before — and somewhere between deciding to go and walking out the door, we decided to cut a piece and bring it with us. Odeh’s is one of those places where the food is always right and the family behind it is even better. Some businesses earn more than your money. They earn your time in the shop.

V-carved logo in cherry, their flame-and-script branding. We handed it to them at the counter. It’s been there ever since.

Not everything that comes out of this shop has a price tag on it. Some pieces just need to exist.
