A Lebanese Street Life Food Art Poster.
“KAAK! KAAK!”, If you hear that call echoing through the Corniche or streets, you don’t even need to look. You know who it is!
This illustrated artwork captures one of Lebanon’s most iconic street vendors: the Kaak seller. With his large circular bread hanging from metal hooks on his cart, this man has become part of the soul of our seaside walks. From Beirut to Tripoli, from Jounieh to Saida, he pushes his cart slowly, his horn blasting and his voice shouting out to hungry hearts.
He’s more than a vendor; he’s a walking memory!
This urban sketch is full of memories: the golden crust of the sesame-covered bread and the glint of the za’atar pouch. This sketch art takes you back to those sunny afternoons, chasing the cart with coins in your hand, trying not to drop your corn or your balloon at the same time.
And let’s not forget, sometimes he disappears just as you convince your mom to buy one. That’s when you run like an Olympian across the Corniche yelling, “3ammo!” while he pretends not to hear you. A classic scene in every Lebanese childhood.
This is more than just food art, it’s part of our soul. A moment of home frozen in time. A tribute to food and art coming together in the streets of Lebanon. Whether displayed as framed prints, part of a kitchen gallery, or hung proudly in your living room, this Lebanese poster brings the scent, sound, and warmth of our country straight to your walls.
Part of our food artwork and food sketching series, this piece celebrates simple joys and real people, the everyday heroes of Lebanese streets.
To every expat who's ever stood by the sea with a warm kaak in hand, this print is for you. Let it remind you that home is never too far, not when the heart remembers the call of “KAAK! KAAK!”
