Jewish Food Through an Ethiopian Lens (#40)

September 17, 2019

Guest: Zenash and her granddaughter Nebbe
I'm at Ras Dashen, a wonderful cozy Ethiopian restaurant in my own neighborhood in Chicago. I'm talking with owner and chef Zenash and her granddaughter Nebbe. She tells an amazing story of how she comes to Chicago and starts her own restaurant. She's one of the most passionate food people I've ever met. To say she puts her whole self into everything she prepares does not do her food or her story justice. I'm sure you'll find her as engaging and endearing as I did.
