A military/guns themed eatery in Lebanon called Buns and Guns

The slogan of the restaurant — “Sandwiches Can Kill You” — is displayed at the entrance with the photo of a hamburger with a pistol sticking between the buns.

The eatery, which looks like a military outpost, was designed to be an unconventional hangout but it also resonates because of recent armed clashes in Beirut and the many tanks and military troops deployed here in the capital. The restaurant is located in a crowded street of Dahiyeh, Beirut’s southern suburb and a Hezbollah stronghold that was the scene of heavy airstrikes during the militant group’s 2006 war with Israel.

Pathetic in my opinion.
