We love to find scenes in Greensboro that evoke scenes of famous artists. While waiting for our order at Ghassan's on Battleground the other night, this scene reminded us so much of an Edward Hopper painting. His scenes are never crowded or cluttered, feature a person or two, and have a lot of emphasis on geometric shapes. At least, that is what we felt as we were waiting for our food. Ghassan's features mediterranean food that is cooked fresh to order. They offer catering, take out, food trucks, eat in, grub hub; just about any way you want food, they can serve it up. We love seeing that red food truck in the window when we are there. The saturated color and contrast adds to the mood, making it very Hopper-esque.
As for the food, when you are in the mood for a wrap, sub, beef or chicken platter, great sauces and dips, Ghassan's is a great option. It has been locally owned and operated since 1975. There have been lots of successful spin offs, but they don't seem to be impacting this little taste of Lebanon, right here in Greensboro. While the flagship store (at Gate City Boulevard) closed in 2020, the other locations and the food truck continue to thrive. The Ghassan's at LeBauer Park on Davie Street seems to have been a good move for the restaurant.
Happy Saturday, regardless of what or where you decide to eat!
A well composed shot.
