Here I Made This

Arts


When Sanaa Abourezk noticed that the restaurants in Sioux Falls, South Dakota were limited to steakhouses and fast food, she took it upon herself to open up a Gourmet Mediterranean restaurant that provided a healthier alternative and food offering not yet seen in her community. 15 years later Sanaa's Gourmet Mediterranean is a staple in the Sioux Falls art scene and continues to grow in popularity due to Sanaa's friendly report and attention to detail in the amazing food she makes from scratch. In our conversation Sanaa discusses her process when deciding what food to cook, how she creates an active and evolving relationship with her customers and how she came to the decision to open her restaurant against all odds.
