Chef Tin was born and raised in Burma until he was seven, later spending his childhood in a refugee camp along the Thailand border due to ongoing violence, conflict, oppression, and human rights abuses in his country. Chef Tin has a passion for cooking and has been working in kitchens since he was 14. With 25 years of experience, he’s always felt joy in seeing how his cooking brings smiles to people's faces! In 2013, Tin moved to the United States through UNHCR for a safer future. Now, as a father of three, he feels blessed to share his cooking with all of you, hoping to put smiles on your faces as well.

Chef Diego | Colombia
Chef Diego was born in Colombia and is continuing his seven year career in the culinary arts that has spanned four countries. Cooking is his passion and was inherited from his mother, who was a chef for more than 38 years. Chef Diego has a degree in gastronomy, and strengthened his skills for five years in Ecuador. He loves to think about how much people will enjoy his food, and uses that as inspiration to give the best of everything he’s learned. Come and enjoy the flavors of Colombia.

Chef Youssef | Syria
Did you know that Syria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited countries? This historic culture boasts incredibly flavorful Levantine cuisine, characterized by use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including blends like Za’atar. Often, if there are five shawarma stands in a neighborhood, customers will find the one whose spice blend is their favorite and become a regular lunch customer! Chef Youssef is excited to share Syrian flavors with Spokane, serving up Chicken Shawarma, Kebab Hindi, Harraq Osbao, Hummus, and Eggplant dip. Get ready for a culinary adventure!
