A love letter to Persian food

You know how gray is the new black, Rachael is the new Emeril, and skinny jeans are the new boot-cut jeans? Now Persian food is the new Indian food.
Indian food -- samosas, naan, fragrant basmati rice, and rich, thick curries -- might be soon be replaced as my ethnic "go-to" with the foods of Persia.
I am no stranger to Persian cuisine. A long time ago, in a geeky galaxy far away, I was training for work in Chicago. Bored with TGI Friday's (we were in the suburbs of Chicago), my teammates and I ventured into the city and ended up at Reza's. Now some Persian food purists may turn their noses up to Rezas's, but at the time, I was wholly taken by the new-to-me cuisine: pomegranates and walnuts and strangely shaped meats on sticks. I was rapidly falling head over heels in love with spices and flavors that were familiar, yet different in the way they were combined with each other.
