Old Sasoon Bakery, is one of L.A.'s best places to find traditional Middle Eastern flatbreads and cookies, is a legacy business from Joseph Geragosian, whose father Haroutioun founded back in 1948 in Aleppo, Syria. It's continued to be a family affair in Pasadena since 1986. They're best known for supple flatbreads like lahmajoune, topped with ground beef, tomato, onion, garlic, and parsley; and maneish, slathered with za'atar.
