Hassan Ziadi was willing to return to the humble beginnings of accepting any cooking position in 2013 when he returned to the US after working abroad as an international executive chef opening several hotel restaurants because he felt Minnesota was the best place to raise his daughter, Rim. As Hassan reconnected with former employers from his first time working in the Twin Cities, he learned about the Midtown Global Market (MGM) and City of Minneapolis Business Technical Assistance (B-TAP), partner Neighborhood Development Center (NDC). MGM offered a variety of international foods but it did not offer North African cuisine and Hassan made it his goal to educate the Twin Cities on why exactly this fare was so different and special.
