Today we talk to one of the Executive Chef at Trade, 2023’s Best Mediterranean restaurant in Boston, Chef Alavee Hassan.

Chef Alavee, aka Jefe, is a handsome multi-ethnic Asian man with a wild origin story (Bangladesh to Italy to Texas to New England) and an even wilder creative side.

On this episode, we talk about:

Lying to his Asian family to make them happy.

Mental health in the kitchen (it’s bad).

And how he’s bound to win a James Beard award in the near future.
