Only Pans with Sameh Wadi

People might say "finally" too often about a thing they've done, but this is an instance that certifiably qualifies. It took LFE 95 damn episodes to get Charles' illegitimate brother Sameh Wadi on the show. Better known for: being the third Iron Chef contestant to grace LFE (and the second winner!), being an absolute legend in the Twin Cities culinary stratosphere-- having helmed the spectacular (and sorely missed) Saffron, the wildly craveable World Street Kitchen, and the elite scoops of Milkjam, among others-- in addition to being a published author of The New Mediterranean Table (which deserves placement on every culinary bookshelf). Sameh discusses how he came up through the food world as a young boy observing his family putting together a cooking tome, his adoration/obsession with Panda Express, and a great deal more, in addition to these here topics o' the week:🛹 A surprising thing you were allowed to do as a kid and a surprising thing you were NOT allowed to do as a kid.🤬 Favorite curse or insult in a foreign language.🍽️ Is fine dining dead or is fine dining evolving? 💅 TOP SECRET grooming tips that you don't really admit to anyone.🍬 What was your favorite candy growing up? 🥡 What's the IDGAF place that you eat when you're feeling lazy?
