Mama Khouri's
Contents
Mama Khouri's is the Mediterranean alternative regularly proposed alongside Blutos when Evan Bbbender declares himself 'feeling medi.'
Mama Khouri's
Mama Khouri's is a Mediterranean restaurant in Portland that occupies the runner-up slot to Blutos in Evan Bbbender's rotation of mid-rotation suggestions. It appears in the corpus only when Evan is "feeling medi" — a regional idiom for feeling Mediterranean.
Citations
- November 15, 2024 — Evan Bbbender: "I'd try mama khouris." (the earliest mention in the corpus, more than a year before the 2026 Blutos rotation was formalized).
- December 5, 2024 — Evan Bbbender: "Why can't we do mama khouris," followed by an immediate "Mamma Khouri's" — establishing the disputed apostrophe orthography that has persisted ever since.
- February 6, 2026 — Evan Bbbender: "Blutos or something like mama khouris? I'm feeling medi."
- February 6, 2026 — Evan Bbbender (next day): "Yesterday we were talking about mama khouris or blutos."
- April 16, 2026 — Evan Bbbender: "Or mama khouris again I liked that place."
The third 2026 reference is the only one in which Mama Khouri's is unaccompanied by Blutos; it is therefore considered to mark the moment at which the venue began to stand on its own.
