Mark Wiens was stunned by the speed and skill of the local hummus makers and declared the fatteh to be life-changing. He was particularly impressed by the Syrian technique of soaking shawarma bread in meat juices before toasting it, calling it some of the greatest shawarma he has ever tasted. Mark concluded that the breakfast spread in Damascus was so exceptional it ruined all other hummus for him.
