It’s a mix of cocking a snook at the US administration, a bit of inventive business, and a love of collegiate discussion. Kubideh Kitchen, an Iranian takeaway in Pittsburgh, USA, only serves cuisine from countries that the US is in conflict with—which should be a quarter of the world, but Kubideh’s mothership, Conflict Kitchen, hasn’t quite the wherewithal yet to cook up that magnitude of a storm. Nonetheless, this takeaway, which will rotate cuisine identities every four months, will also be organising performances, events and the usual dazed discussions on culture and politics. Obviously, a great many customers and autodidacts are students from the nearby Carnegie Mellon University. The politicians haven’t found it yet, but maybe the road to global peace is through the stomach.
