Baghdad Style

Posted by Adam Kuban, November 11, 2003 at 11:43 AM

A man has opened a pizzeria in Baghdad, the New York Times reports in an AP story apparently picked up from the Wall Street Journal.

Walid Mahmoud learned his chops working in a family pizzeria in Rome. When the Americans came to town, he cobbled enough cash money together to open a pie joint. "The Wall Street Journal reports on a good day he sells nearly 200 pizzas," the story says. "But orders can drop to a handful depending on terrorist activity."

I bet. Not only that, but if Mr. Mahmoud offers delivery, he has to contend with some pretty mean and confusing streets. Like this one at left, from Baghdad blogger G.

Talk about a dangerous job.
