Farm To Table: The Chef

luucid Podcast

"There's a fine line between wanting to become a chef for social media or wanting to become a chef for yourself."
Our guide for today is Chef Faisal Al Nashmi the creative mind behind Street AlMakan, Table Otto, Pam and Cow, Street Cafe, and San Restorante. Faisal has been instrumental in the evolution of Kuwait's dining scene.
I want to set the stage for this interview by shining the spotlight on three main points of focus for our dialogue.
- About Faisal and his unique human journey.
- Explore the nuances behind creating a menu, a restaurant, and an unshakeable culinary identity.
- Walk away with some habits that a successful entrepreneur, chef, and leader like Faisal has developed to aid his success
