Fire Guts Lebanese Butcher Building In Falls Church

[MsDiPesto]

I had seen a lot of emergency equipment at the intersection near the strip mall that includes Lebanese Butcher yesterday around noon. As it turns out, there was a fire that may result in that entire building being condemned. Link to Falls Church Times coverage and picture here. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

When I drove by that strip today there were two trucks parked near the front entrance of LB, lots of people, probably having a connection with the businesses housed in that building were milling about.

My sympathies to the owners. I hope they are able to get their store up and running again soon.

What a shame. Lebanese Butcher is a real gem. I may still have some of their lamb shanks in the freezer, and we've brought their sausages home for the grill on many occasions.

I would assume so, same name, and looks like his writing style.

I don't think so, though I can't be certain - the Steve from Chowhound isn't a journalist, and spells his full name Steven, not Stephen.

I have confirmation that it isn't "our" Steve.
