DEEP DISH
Name: Dari AlHuwail Restaurant: Hashtag Burger Title: Burger Flipper and Co-Founder
What do you like most about Kuwait? It’s home! I love it all, but the ocean has a special place in my heart Where is your favorite place to shop for food and ingredients in Kuwait? TSC, CARREFOUR What is the one ingredient in food that you think makes all the difference to the taste of the whole dish? Hot chili peppers! What food most reminds you of your mother’s house, and why? Chicken Machboos! If I ask grandma what we are having for lunch tomorrow at our weekly gathering, her answer will be “Machboos Deiyaay”! What do you do to relax in Kuwait? That would be the boat ride back to shore after a long day of environmental work with the “Guardians of the Sea”, Kuwait Dive Team. If you were to leave Kuwait and could take only one memento with you, what would it be? This is a tough one really! I hope that day won’t come.
Who in the world would you most like to meet, and if they came to your house for dinner, what would you serve them? Many people really! I have, however, had the pleasure to meet with Humanitarian Dr. Abdulrahman AlSumait (Prayers for his speedy recovery inshallah) and accompy him on a short trip in Kenya. Still, I’d love it if he could join us at home for a meal. I’d want to serve him my burgers. What experience most defined your decision and desire to get into the food industry? Working at Solo Pizza Napulitana with my dear friends spreading dough and creating authentic Italian Pizza. After all, Amr, owner of Solo Pizza Napulitana, is my partner in crime at Hashtag Burgers If there was one meal you could eat every day without consequences, what would it be? I’m a ‘variety and mix it up’ man who likes to try new things, but if that was the case I would want to travel the world and eat authentic dishes from each country! Not sure that was the answer you were looking for there, but hey!
