In celebration of our 30th anniversary, Moby Dick House of Kabob was featured on Fox 5’s “Cooking with Como” segment, filmed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. We share a little bit of the company’s history and how we plan to honor Mike Daryoush’s legacy as the founder of Moby Dick and a pioneer of Persian cuisine in the DC metropolitan area. This year we will be featuring specials like our Lunch Sampler. We were delighted to have the opportunity to share our delicious food with the Fox 5 team!
