                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 24, 2020

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the grand 
opening of Malek Al-Kabob in Dearborn. The restaurant is a beloved 
institution in our community and the opening of its new location is 
cause for celebration.
  Malek Al-Kabob was founded by chefs Abu-Fahd and Abu-Snan whose 
culinary careers began at an early age. After growing up in the 
Republic of Yemen, both migrated separately to the United States 
seeking the American Dream. After beginning their careers in the food 
industry, the two met as sous chefs and developed a close friendship 
due to their shared backgrounds and love for Middle Eastern cuisine. 
After working side by side for years, Abu-Fahd and Abu-Snan decided to 
open an enterprise of their own. In the years that followed, the two 
opened several restaurants that have quickly become favorites in the 
communities in which they operate.
  In January of 2006, Malek Al-Kabob first opened its doors in Taylor. 
The location became a popular destination in the Downriver community 
and was quickly recognized as one of the best Middle Eastern 
restaurants throughout the entire Metro Detroit region. Today, I am 
proud to celebrate Malek Al-Kabob as it expands. The opening of its new 
location in Dearborn not only exemplifies the restaurants continued 
success, but is a testament to the hard work of its staff and the pride 
its chefs put in to each and every dish.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing 
the grand opening of Malek Al-Kabob's Dearborn location. The expansion 
represents a big step forward for the restaurant and will offer our 
community a new opportunity to come together to celebrate Middle 
Eastern cuisine.
