A fast-food restaurant in Beirut has adopted a terrorism theme to attract customers.

Diners at Buns and Guns eat to the sound of gunfire instead of muzak, weapons and ammunition decorate the counters, and camouflage netting hangs from the ceiling, reports the BBC.

Owner Yousef Ibrahim presents dishes like "rocket-propelled grenade" (chicken on a skewer) and "terrorist bread". Other meals include the Kalashnikov, Dragunov, Viper, B52.

"They accuse us of terrorism, so let's serve terrorist bread, why not?" Mr Ibrahim told Hezbollah's al-Manar TV.

Buns and Guns (motto: A sandwich can kill you) is located in a strongly Hezbollah-supporting area, where the group's militia is lionised by many.

"My goal was to make people laugh before they ask me why weapons. The important thing is that they laugh," Mr Ibrahim said.

He insists the only way his sandwiches could kill the customers is by their generous proportions.

"It attracts customers in an unconventional way. You noticed the moment I opened the restaurant, there was a lot of business," he added.

Sounds like what happens after you order the spicy chili with beans.

Hey, we memorialize the famous bank robbers. Bank robbers are very high profile criminals, yet, we still memorialize them. Why stop there?
