Friday Fun Fact: World's largest restaurant

Syria is now home to the world's largest restaurant—Damascus Gate, which seats a whopping 6,014 diners.

According to the BBC, the 3-year-old suburban restaurant recently grabbed the Guinness World Record from a 5,000-seat eatery in Bangkok, Thailand.

Want more stats? Damascus Gate covers 580,000 square feet, has a 27,000-square-foot kitchen and employs 1,800 staff in the summer. And the cost? $40 million.
