Sameer visits one of the finest Halal Persian cuisines in the country with comedian, Baba Ali. Located in Pasadena, CA, Heider Baba is known for its mouthwatering kababs. Watch Sameer non-chalantly eat a hot pepper and ruin his mouth! While Sameer’s tongue is on fire, he manages to find deep flavors in his plate and top off his dinner with dessert and tea. Sameer regrets not meeting the owner and chef of this fine establishment. However, Sameer is thankful that Baba Ali, a Persian himself, was able to give him an overview of the dishes presented. Sameer’s Eats brings you the latest on halal eateries. The majority of restaurants Sameer visits are “Zabiha-Halal” restaurants. This means if Sameer is eating meat then he has inquired if the restaurant serves meat that is slaughtered and prepared according to Islamic Laws (and prepared using halal ingredients). Sameer does not in any way guarantee the meat is Zabihah-Halal, he does his best to ask and inquire if it is. This video is one of the many episodes where Sameer & his crew will be on the road filming, eating & reviewing halal food and restaurants across North America.

Food and wine matching can be a minefield – but as with many areas in life, there are pitfalls in trying too hard to find the right combination, just as there are when mixing anything where an objective point of view is difficult to find. Many people pride themselves on their ability to find the right wine to suit every dish. While there are definitely matches which work far better than others, as how a combination works is down largely to individual taste, it can pay to go against the grain.
There is nothing to say that fish must be accompanied by a white wine, or equally that beef only works when combined with a red wine. One clear rule of thumb, though, is that spicy foods, or dishes with distinct tastes should not be served alongside wines which are too full-flavoured, as this will inhibit the complete taste sensations of the food. Equally, there is a complete category of sweeter wines which are designed to work as an accompaniment to desserts.

The Chain Bottle uses balance to create the illusion of a floating wine bottle.
Made of a nickel-plated iron chain that is curved upwards to hold the bottle.
Similar to the old Indian rope trick that guarantees a gravity defying reaction.
Makes a super feature to the home bar and great talking point.
Ideal wine gift - show off a really expensive bottle that's too good to drink
The eyes have it - and at least in the case of this fabulous optical illusion, they may well be telling your brain something it does not want to believe - namely that a fully-laden wine bottle appears to be floating in mid air, restrained only by a heavy metal chain. Cripes. Incredibly, the bottle not only appears to be suspended in mid-air, but seems to be dragging the chain upwards. How so? It's all to do with the principle of balance, you see. The chain is made from solid nickel-plated iron
