Behind a barricade of sandbags, Ali devours a “Magnum 357″ as his friend Hussein tucks into a giant “B52″. Welcome to “Buns and Guns” restaurant in the heartland of south Beirut.

“A sandwich can kill you,” reads a slogan on the wall, where the decor resembles a military outpost. Even the chefs wear military fatigues and helmets. I’m not sure if that’s for show or it’s incase of a real life attack.

Everything on the menu has a military reference and the food is even wrapped in camouflage paper.
