13 Things Foodie Couples Love Doing In Beirut

We wanted to write a quick guide on how to spot foodie couples in Beirut, but…they’re kinda easy to spot. TOO EASY…

Here are some things we know that all foodie couples love doing in Beirut.

1. Act horny around toum…chill

We all love toum but we’re going to start hating it if you keep posting it like you haven’t been eating it every other day since you were born.

2. Turn into trusted food bloggers – and make it everyone’s problem

They’re trying a new place? Post. They’re trying the same place but a new item? Post. They’re trying their go-to place? Post.

“Hi guys!! Nehna lyom 3am njarreb-” shut up.

3. Make sure everyone knows they went out for shawarma at 2 AM

Please stop romanticising late-night Basterma Mano runs. We all do it, even us singles.

4. Hashtag literally everything with #foodporn

We love seeing close up pictures of your messy, halfway finished shawarma with your partner going to town on their sandwich in the background. #foodporn indeed.

5. Act like burgers are a replacement for an identity

FHEMNAAAAA

You know how millennials are OBSESSED with pizza? This is a foodie couple’s equivalent.

6. Bulk order and share because they’re SOOOO in love <3

Omg I threw up in my mouth a little <3

7. Say “we know a spot” then take you to The Bros

Everyone and their mom knows/loves The Bros bas okay…thanks for your expert foodie suggestion.

8. Make their food obsession what holds their relationship together…yikes

What happens when foodie couples break up? What happens to that joint Instagram account they created?

9. Hype up every single food trend on Lebanese foodstagram

Foodie couples are probably not picky, so they’re going to call everything delicious. Please don’t listen to them.

10. Call something “ekhtira3/concept jdeed” when it’s literally the 20th spot that has the exact concept in Beirut

Omg mahal bya3mol donut burgers?????!!! SHU?!!!!

11. Suggest double dates every. time. because they never go anywhere food related without each other

If you thought you were going to be friends with 1/2 of a foodie couple, you’re wrong. They never go anywhere without each other.

12. Post stories of them 3am yleffo wara2 3enab at least once

Random but okay.

13. Go to Kitchen Lab together more times than the average person (0-1 times in their life)

Foodie couples that learn how to cook together, stay together <3
