You are posting a comment about... Al Abbas Original Best Chicken
A relatively recent episode of Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (Season 8, Episode 3), features an unusually blunt treatment of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, along with David’s unique brand of self-deprecating wit. Larry and his pal Jeff visit a “Palestinian chicken place” called “Al Abbas Original Best Chicken”. It is noted for serving excellent chicken. The restaurant is believed to be broadly based on two Lebanese eateries in California. Interestingly David treats anti-Semitism as a given in the Palestinian movement.
Classic lines:
Larry [admiring a waitress in Al-Abbas]: Looks like they are planning the next intifada at this table but look at this woman, could be the next Mrs. David. What do you think about that?
Jeff: If by some chance she's going to get over her anti-Semitism, odds are not with you!
Larry: Really?
Jeff: Just my gut feeling.
Larry: Know what it is? You’re always attracted to someone who doesn’t want you, right? Well here you have someone who not only doesn't want you, doesn't even acknowledge your right to exist, wants your destruction… That’s a turn-on.
Classic lines:
Marty: Proud Jews wear Yarmulkes [skullcap].
Larry: Be proud here in the parking lot, you don’t need to be proud in there [Al Abbas].
Waitress in Al-Abbas: I Like you.
Larry: What’s not to like?
Waitress in Al-Abbas: ahh you’re a Jew.
