What's in that secret mushroom sauce, anyway? THE LEBANESE BURGER MAFIA is an award-winning, crowd-pleaser that hilariously delves into the mystery behind Burger Baron - a rogue fast-food chain with a cult following and roots in the Lebanese community.
Filmmaker Omar Mouallem grew up in his parents’ restaurant. In his debut feature, he travels to Barons across the Prairies, chatting with other owners and their heirs. As they discuss the opportunities and obstacles provided by the family business, they reveal a uniquely Albertan immigrant experience.
