Description
What happens behind the camera on a day with Anthony Rahayel? Marwan joined us for the day to film his own perspective—and this is the long version!

Come along for a day in the life of NoGarlicNoOnions, from an early start before daylight to a late goodnight. Along the way, there’s breakfast, food stops, conversations with local people, laughter with the team, and all the little moments between filming.
Our journey takes us through Koura and onward to Tripoli in North Lebanon. But this time, you get to see more than the places we visit. Marwan’s camera follows the work behind the videos: getting everyone moving in the morning, setting up interviews, finding the shot, and keeping up with a schedule that continues well into the afternoon.
How many stops can we fit into one day? By the middle of the day, we’re already counting eight—and the conversation brings back memories of a previous day with 36 stops in Saida!
Between visits, there’s plenty of teasing, spontaneous conversations, and warm welcomes. People stop to say hello, share a laugh, and tell us what these visits mean to them. These encounters are as much a part of the journey as the food itself.
By 4:30 p.m., we’re still going. More greetings, more filming, and more work ahead in Tripoli before we finally reach our room and call it a night.
This is Marwan’s look at a working day with Anthony Rahayel and the NGNO team: the pace, the friendships, the appetite, and the moments that happen when the main camera isn’t the only one rolling.
