Nigerian-American chef Kwame Onwuahchi takes us on a journey from his childhood in Nigeria, to selling candy on the subway, to being crowned one of the top chefs in New York City and building his world famous restaurant Tatiana.
In this episode, Onwuachi sits down with Noah Callahan-Bever to discuss how he came up with the concept for Tatiana, his fears of failure, and how he found inspiration from President Barack Obama.

Go watch his interview on Iman Amongst Men for all that .
So cool ❤

Cool story.

It’s the hype and not quality, he’s a person supported by his community not a grwat chef
Deeply inspired by Kwame’s story. Such an amazing episode.
