Don't mind the sandbags outside and the sound of gun fire resonating through the restaurant -- the food is great!

The BBC reports that a new restaurant in Beirut called "Buns and Guns" is looking to attract customers by playing to one of the things that the Middle East is best known for: terrorism.

"They accuse us of terrorism, so let's serve terrorist bread, why not?" Yousef Ibrahim, the restaurant's owner, told Hezbollah's al-Manar TV, the BBC reports. In addition to terrorist bread, the restaurant (motto: "A sandwich can kill you") serves popular favorites like the Kalashnikov, Dragunov, Vipe and B52.


In addition to the exotic dishes on the menu and decor evocative of an army base, the diner's staff is dressed to impress in fatigues and combat helmets (see below).

The neighborhood of Beirut in which the restaurant is located strongly supports Hezbollah, the terrorist militia which led a recent outbreak of strife in the city. Despite the violence that has plagued the region, many locals see the restaurant in the way it was intended - as a joke.

Though a New York franchise seems unlikely in the short term, a Supreme Court ruling earlier today may make it feasible in the District of Columbia. The Court ruled, for the first time, that the Constitution upholds an individual's right to bear arms, not just a militia's. Delicious Kalashnikov, here we come!
