Falafel’s Drive-In co-owner explains origin of banana shake, restaurant’s name Generations have grown up on the falafels and fresh banana shakes at Falafel’s Drive-In, the popular eatery that has been a San Jose institution for nearly 60 years.Co-owner Joanne Boyle grew up there too, hanging out with her siblings at the casual restaurant their parents, Anton and Zahie Nijmeh, opened in 1966 after moving to the Bay Area from Israel.“I was crawling around here as a baby,” Boyle says.Boyle can still be found at the family-run eatery most days, doing prep work in the kitchen and taking food orders from a long line of devoted regulars and their friends.Those orders include other Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, as well as classic American fast-food fare. But the falafel sandwiches — falafel, tahini, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and the eatery’s signature red hot sauce wrapped in pita — are the big draw, best enjoyed at one of the picnic tables with a view of Lila Gemellos’ colorful murals.The Special, a falafel sandwich and a banana m...

Graham Rahal gets Indy 500 ride as replacement for Stefan Wilson, who fractured vertebra in practice INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal will get a chance to keep his Indianapolis 500 start streak intact after all, replacing the injured Stefan Wilson on Tuesday in the Dreyer & Reinbold entry after failing to qualify for the race with his own team.Wilson was hospitalized with a fractured vertebra following a crash in practice Monday. He was ruled out of the race, and that left car owners Dennis Reinbold and Don Cusick scrambling for a replacement less than a week before Sunday’s green flag.Rahal was their first choice, but he’d spent his career tied to Honda, which powers the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team. Dreyer & Reinbold runs engines from rival Chevrolet, and Rahal initially told DRR that any discussions were a waste of time because of his Honda relationship. He told the team to call his dad, 1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and see if there was a path forward.Sunday’s race will mark the first time in Rahal’s 17 seasons as a professional he will compe...
