Chef Farid Zadi hosts the second annual Cous Cous Fest at his new Spanish Fly Gastropub this weekend. The event features North African street foods -- cous cous, tagines and dishes not usually on the menu at the Mid-City restaurant. You'll find things like slow-roasted lamb and goat heads, spicy snails, Algerian chicken wings, and other dishes Zadi calls North African stoner food. "Ancient Berbers were the original stoners," he adds. The event runs Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m., with tagine cooking demos at 2 and 5 p.m. (3800 Wilshire Blvd.; 213-412-2992).[Also see: 10 (More) New Rules of Dining Etiquette]
