It's a seafood forward restaurant told through the lens of a lot of Ethiopian recipes where I could cook my food from my culture. It's a huge source of pride for me.”

I can clearly see his style, influence, techniques and family style teambuilding in the eyes of the incredibly talented Chef Fariyal.

    Chef Fariyal was amazing! The breakdown of stations, roles, logisitics, cost managment, diversity in teams, uniform and morale, and joyful communication with each of the staff members was refreshing. It reminded me a little of my time working at Disney before returning back to New Orleans, but even more natural. She definitely could have her own show, personality, look and insight of DEI leadership in high end culinary in major cities; I loved it! Every aspiring restaurant should look at this video for training on workflow. Great job Bon Appetit!

    Wow! what an awesome showcase!! a huge thanks to Chef Abdullahi for sharing her restaurants day-to-day! You run an amazing and tight ship! A big shout out and congratulations to Chef Samuelsson on his beautiful restaurant. This showcase is by far the best one I've seen so far! And the fac that it's an all women of color ran restaurant is sooo dope!! Chef Abdullahi has a beautiful soul and it shines through in her cooking and technique. Just beautiful all around! Thanks again, be well, be safe and Cheers!!!
