Elias Khoury

Fed by the shuk

Based in Jerusalem, Israel.

Elias grew up between the Old City's Christian Quarter and the hummus counters of East Jerusalem, and still walks Machane Yehuda most mornings before the crowds. He writes about knafeh warm off the tray, the case for Lina over Abu Shukri, and where the market's own cooks eat once their kitchens close.
