Show notes
Yalla’s chef/co-owner Taylor Cheney joins us fresh off a trip to Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Italy with her life and business partner, Matt Mitchell. We talk about how serving dishes from another culture requires you to understand much more than just recipes, and the importance of engaging with people and places. She also gives us some international travel tips and tells us what new things are simmering at Yalla.Plus Meg reps the Tacoma Night Market, Mark and Taylor rep the 1991 Bill Murray comedy What About Bob?, and we all rep the local restaurant news—and our favorite bites—of the week.Mentioned in this episode:Nils FrahmTacoma Night MarketGrit City MagazineKosharyAura BoraLaCroixPolarWaterlooCantina del SolTemple PastriesMixed Pantry RumbaTacos ChukisSugar HillManekiItsumonoTN TrangThe AtticThe Red Onion TavernThe George Coffee and PastriesHellenikaBang Bang CafeTamari BarHigh LifeBaitenMakotoCorbeauWoven0:00 Intro8:43 Catching Up with Yalla17:35 Yalla Window’s Storied History25:28 Meg’s Shell Station Mystery Treat31:59 This Week’s Restaurant News 40:27 Why Travel is Important48:08 Thanks, I Ate It!1:07:11 Coming Up Next
