I first encountered Chef Jamil Bah-Traore when I read his kind words about fellow Omaha Chef Wilson Calixte of Le Voltaire . This episode and conversation reveals Jamil’s heart, connection to his family, and sincere passion for helping raise awareness of African food in addition to helping immigrants succeed in finding a career in food and hospitality. Not only that, but in our hub of food excellence that is Omaha, Chef Bah-Traore’s House of Bah foundation has received a grant from the Jacques Pepin foundation in recognition of his mission of helping others. I learned so much and I’m happy to bring our talk to you.
