About Us 

I grew up in Los Angeles, California by the beach and studied business and marketing at San Francisco State University. After graduating, I started my career in advertising sales at a global corporation. During those years, I learned how to DJ and decided that I wanted to quit corporate life, travel the world, and play music instead. That’s exactly what I did.

I DJ’ed for years, traveling from one place to another, seeing what the world had to offer. I met so many amazing people along the way, and learned so much, including 4 additional languages. Once I discovered Berlin and how much I loved it, I started spending my summers here. That’s when I met the love of my life and business partner, Alex.

I’ve always loved trying new foods, but my travels really opened my eyes to see that food is so much more than just eating; it also has a cultural, social and historical meaning. I feel lucky to have turned this passion into a business, one that I get to run with my husband.

I was born in the northeastern outskirts of Berlin, less than two months before David Hasselhoff made the Berlin Wall come down. Growing up with a Polish grandmother who was a passionate chef, I got to know very early on the love and dedication for home cooked food, cooking in general, and good ingredients.

During my years as a master student in Cultural Anthropology at Freie Universität Berlin, it became my mission to eat and drink my way through the different districts of the city. Living in a multicultural city like Berlin, I was able to constantly explore new (culinary) worlds within this vast concrete jungle, and share the hidden gems I discovered with friends and family.

On my tours — taking into consideration my personal and family biography — I’ll try to give you a very subjective account of someone who grew up in a new, post-socialist Germany. Using food as a medium, I’m hoping to deliver a more nuanced understanding of Berlin’s, and Germany’s turbulent history.
