@abelincoln__ @arash_tehran What the fuck is palawwww😭😭😭😭 it’s polo

Zereshk Palaw + chicken barg + koobideh is my go-to Persian restaurant order and it is the most elite dish.

Persian food is elite

@thatOGkoosh @nequalonetrader Shamiri is really good. The staff are also nice. Saffron & Rose ice cream right after was so yummy too!
English
Rumi’s kitchen in DC has the best persian food i have ever had compared to other places inside and outside Iran. Ofc I may encounter something better one day!
English
Also their portions are HUGE. You will be full (but I still force myself to have their bastani ice cream after anyways 🤷♂️)
English
Omg, finally someone else who gets it. I’ve been saying this for a few years. Their kabobs are so juicy and saffrony, and their zereshk palaw is so sweet and melts in your mouth. It’s been so hard to find any Persian food in Chicago like Rumis.

It’s always “Afghan food is fake” until it’s time to put “Afghan” on a restaurant sign and make money off it.
Marksman@Marksman1o
Stealing Tajik culture and calling it Afghan is disgusting. Most of your “Afghani” dishes are borrowed Qabeli Palau, mantu, and more. Your history is fake, your pride is built on lies. Dandakai is the only true Afghan dish you can claim and it looks disgusting!

@ToghralBalkhi Chicago is good for buying, but it sucks for renting. There’s also a decently sized Central Asian population in Chicagoland and quite a few restaurants!
English
@abelincoln__ Dude iv been talking about this for years im actually about to by a condo in downtown Chicago lol its super cheap and rent out my Florida home
English
I wish people would realize that Chicago is a Midwestern city with Midwestern incomes. The average Chicagoan is far more rent burdened than the average DC resident when you compare median rents of both cities against their median incomes.

@DeepDishEnjoyer @abelincoln__ @dietbrisk I will say I'm a little surprised by how little apartment prices change outside of loop—appt. that would be 2.3k in streeterville seems to be ~1.7-2k pretty much anywhere w/an L stop. otoh, 1.7-2k for a lovely one bedroom in a nice neighborhood with decent transit is fine
English
@ToghralBalkhi The weather deters a lot of people, but I love Chicago!
English
@abelincoln__ Idk why north east Americans don’t move to Chicago. It’s 1/4 of the price and super clean

@WHaidaryar Claiming that Nowruz—a holiday that’s celebrated across three continents, belongs to a single ethnic group, is the epitome of culture vulturism.
English
@WHaidaryar Nowruz and Yalda don’t belong to Tajiks. They are Zoroastrian holidays that are celebrated from Albania to Central Asia & Northern South Asia. Last time I checked, I speak the closest living language to Avestan & my ancestors were Zoroastrian. Thanks, next.

Turkey has been appropriating Pashtun culture and clothing for YEARS while at the same time alienating Pashtuns and Afghan people in general so that they can seem more “European.”
English
@bkingtanturkey @nooneknovvs This is literally a traditional Pashtun Kuchi dress. Don’t speak on things you don’t know about.
English
@nooneknovvs Kız zaten Türk kıyafeti bu Afganistanda da hazar, özbek Türkleri giyiyor senin kendi kültürünü bilmemen bağırttı Türkiye de giyip bir de hayır bu afgan diyenleri okaylemissin salak mısı amk ağladım cringliğinden

Half of the “affordable” apartments in Hyde Park are run by Ivy, which is literally a slumlord. More than 4 of my classmates at UChicago who rented from them had their roofs collapse, let alone had roach and mice infestations.
Peter@dietbrisk
@DeepDishEnjoyer yea rent in luxury apartments is as bad as dc. no i live by the lake, everywhere else is 🪳 slumland.
English
neighborhoods and are starting to gentrify those neighborhoods.
English
pushed and gentrified out of their neighborhoods. It’s not just “the popular neighborhoods.” It’s also Albany Park, Avondale, Woodlawn, Bridgeport, Uptown, and Pilsen. These areas are gentrifying bc people in the city who make $50-$70k a year can’t afford to live in closer-in.
