Spend a day behind the scenes with Executive Chef Fariyal Abdullahi at New York's hottest seafood restaurant, Hav & Mar. “I’ve always wanted to create a space where people like me can just come in and focus on their craft. It's a seafood forward restaurant told through the lens of a lot of Ethiopian recipes where I could cook my food from my culture. It's a huge source of pride for me.”

The breakdown of stations, roles, logisitics, cost managment, diversity in teams, uniform and morale, and joyful communication with each of the staff members was refreshing. It reminded me a little of my time working at Disney before returning back to New Orleans, but even more natural. She definitely could have her own show, personality, look and insight of DEI leadership in high end culinary in major cities; I loved it! Every aspiring restaurant should look at this video for training on workflow. Great job Bon Appetit!
