      San Francisco Bay Area California fine-dining inspired by Moroccan and North African Flavors. Pushed as hard as I could to keep in a Michelin-star kitchen.

      San Francisco Bay Area Supported my friend to launch his food truck business while SF bars needed food service to stay open during the pandemic. Helped Ron write his business plan and seek investment from SBA/veteran focused lenders. Worked 12 hour Saturdays full of sweat, soul-food sides, and BBQ sauce. Had the chance to test my own food concept for roasted sweet potatos inspired by Japanese street food and Hawaii's Superettes. Fed people comforting food during an uncomfortable time.
