Opening a new restaurant is tough work. But it’s even more difficult when you’re also introducing your dining audience to a cuisine with which they're unfamiliar. On this week’s podcast, we chat with a restaurateur who’s successfully done both.
In this fascinating podcast, we talk with Barkha Limbu Daily, co-owner of the cheel, about her journey to restaurant ownership. During our chat, she speaks frankly about both the joys and challenges of opening a restaurant, from restoring an historic building to introducing diners to the unique flavors of the Nepalese, Burmese and Tibetan dishes she serves. Along the way, we discuss a variety of related topics from misconceptions about the value of global cuisine to attitudes about Nepalese women in the kitchen.
