I've spent quite a bit of time in Evanston but was not aware of this. It all looks like great festival food. (Reading the Evanston RoundTable) I knew about Oscar Isberian Rugs being an honorary consulate of Armenia, so it makes sense why it's there.
There's a lot of similar dishes to what you had at the festival, but one uncommon dish (in Chicago) that they had is raw kibbee. We have a Lebanese-American friend who wanted to try their version and I think he was happy with it.
OK I see where this headed. It's obviously much cheaper to eat Armenian in Chicago than to fly to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. Is the food just as good in The Windy City? I don't give a damn because there ain't no way I'm flying to Armenia. Plus your description and Mr. Wheeler's photos made everything look very delicious. Therefore, I will attend next year's festival.....in Chicago.
However, I am distressed to read that you were fed Rice-A-Roni growing up. Good Lord! Isn't that what they feed turkeys to fatten them up? What kind of loser parents do you have? These two old fools could be prosecuted for child abuse. Check the statute of limitations. You might send these two elderly wackos on a one-way trip to Armenia. Shameful and I wouldn't want anything to do with them. You should have run away from home!

Have you tried Sayat Nova in Streeterville?
I have not been to Sayat Nova but it’s been on my list of places to try for years! Have you been? Any recommendations?
