Episode 7: How Eat Offbeat Turned Refugee Talent into an NYC Food Movement with co-founder Wissam Kahi
What started with a craving for grandma's hummus became a movement reshaping New York’s food scene.
In this episode, I talk with Wissam Kahi, co-founder of Eat Offbeat, a social venture that hires and celebrates refugee chefs bringing authentic dishes from around the world to NYC tables.
Wissam shares how his sister's school project turned into a business, the hard realities of running a food venture, and the lessons he learned about trust, family, and staying financially grounded while building something meaningful.
If you’ve ever thought about starting something that matters — this episode will challenge how you think about business, impact, and risk.
