I chatted with chef @marcelleg on his latest pop-up concept – Shababi – focusing on Palestinian diner food in collaboration with @capitoljill. Here's what to try before it closes on Sep 29! shorturl.at/fisW6
Humbled to announce I've been selected as part of the @MidEastPolicy 2024 cohort of 40 Under 40 Awardees. #MEPC40Under40
This recognition means so much to me and serves as a reminder of the people and opportunities that have shaped my journey. Congrats to all the awardees!

The past two years have been full of change for Marcelle Afram. They took an executive chef job at Maydan, struck out on their own with a Palestinian rotisserie chicken ghost restaurant, and came out as nonbinary transmasculine. News nugget in here too: washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…

Shababi's last service, in its current iteration, will be Sept. 10 per Chef Marcelle Afram. "This isn't goodbye, it's see you later," they say. Get those orders in if you haven't had a chance to try it. instagram.com/marcelle_g/

I ate at DC Black-owned/led spots for a year+ and made a guide. Broken down by category (breakfast, date night, etc) it offers a starting point for local diners. Some long thoughts on this project in this thread. #EatThruChocolateCity
