George Makhlouf opened Foodbeat Mediterranean Grill on West Boylston Street in Worcester on Dec. 1 with the help of his longtime friend Mario Azrak, Foodbeat’s chef/manager. Both men see takeout and delivery success as recipe for the future, especially amid COVID-19.
Foodbeat’s location across the street from Quinsigamond Community College was formerly occupied by Wraps N’ Bowl, a business that Azrak and a business partner operated for more than a year.
