“My ideal life is eating my way around the world, tasting different cultures, bagging memories and living with both heart and stomach full, happy, and always creating.” - Omar Orfali
Born into a family that has always been involved in the cultivation and creation of food, Omar grew up with one hand in the mixing bowl. Being the youngest of three boys and three chefs, Omar believes that he is a one of a kind spice that strengthens the brothers and their bond with food.
While his family encouraged him to discover other paths or professions that he might be interested in, he chose the same delectable culinary path of his two brothers before him. It might not be quite surprising given that he grew up in the city of Aleppo, a city that was a melting pot of culinary diversity from the locals and other nationalities that passed through its door, leaving pieces of their culture, over the centuries of its existence.
