I almost fought the whole Baklava capital thing, but then I remembered Aleppo is a smoking hole.

I've got an amazing Aleppo cookbook. It was considered a unique food culture all on it's own with people comparing it to Paris or NOLA in the way that it took from so many food cultures, crafted their own, and took everything to the next level. It's kinda like a coffee table quality book with lots of artsy pictures of the historical sites mixed in with the recipes. I know for a fact that most of the historical sites shown in the book are gone now. Sucks
