Moumen Nouri left Morocco in search of new experiences in the US. His American dream soon turned into a nightmare after getting into some serious financial trouble in order to keep his San Diego restaurant above water. Moumen talks to us about growing and Morocco and how a move to Valle de Guadalupe gave him a second chance to fulfill his dream of owning his restaurant.

Tune in!
