In this mouth-watering episode, we sit down with our guest, Mr. Suhail Khan, an avid traveler and passionate foodie whose journeys revolve around tasting and experiencing the local cuisine of every place he visits. From bustling street food stalls to intimate home-cooked meals and Michelin-starred restaurants, Suhail embraces it all. But for him, it’s not just about the flavors—it’s about the rituals, the culture, and the history that shape every dish.

Join us as we dive into fascinating food stories from across the world. We explore the meticulous preparation of Turkish coffee, the slow-cooked Bedouin Zarb in Jordan, and the deep-rooted connections between dishes like Pho and the Vietnam War. We uncover the culinary linkages that span continents—from Uzbek Plov to Indian Biryani, from Samosas to Dumplings. Suhail shares his insights from conversations with locals, unveiling the histories, traditions, and hidden stories behind the meals that define cultures.

Get ready for a flavorful journey through Uzbekistan, LatinAmerica, Iran, Jordan, India, Morocco, Portugal, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and beyond. If you love food, travel, and the stories they tell, this episode is a feast for the senses!
