Wednesday, August 19th
Chef Tin | Thailand
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 Cristian | Venezuela
Chef Cristian is originally from Venezuela and works full-time at Feast. He is passionate about cooking, particularly as a way to share his culture and connect with others. We’re excited to have him showcase his cuisine here at Feast!
Friday, August 21st
Chef Abdelrahman | Syria
Syrian people often hold the value of family in the highest of regard. The culture is focused on taking care of each other, and giving their loved ones what they need. Chef Abdelrahman is an embodiment of that notion. Chef Abdelrahman left Syria 10 years ago and moved to Lebanon with his family—his mom, dad, and six siblings. Currently, four of his siblings have made it to the USA, with two more waiting to join. He has worked in a bakery for the last 10 years but the war forced him and his siblings to work to support their parents. Chef Abdelrahman has a dream he wants to achieve, and he believes that Feast World Kitchen can help him reach it.
Saturday, August 22nd
Chef Yalda | Afghanistan
When Chef Yalda isn’t working as part of Feast’s Table Time she’s busy serving up delicious, hearty, aromatic Afghan dishes like kofta, pulao rice, chicken biryani, and ferni. If you’ve never tried Afghan food, you’ll be glad you did!
Sunday, August 23rd
Wana Wilo | Venezuela
Chefs Mariana and Wilfredo are the couple behind Wana Wilo, a Venezuelan street food project born from their shared passion for cooking and their dream of building a future through food. Inspired by the lively street food culture of Venezuela, they prepare authentic dishes that celebrate bold flavors, tradition, and community.
Cooking side by side, Mariana and Wilfredo bring the joyful spirit of Venezuelan street cuisine to Spokane, inviting people to discover the warmth, flavor, and celebration that define their culture. Through Wana Wilo, every dish tells a story of heritage, resilience, and love for sharing real Venezuelan street food.
