You Must Try This! A New Artisan Food Truck, a Taste of Middle Eastern Cuisine, and Holiday Celebrations!

Chef & Owner Mohammed Aqlan shares his grandmother's recipes with anyone who visits his Malooga Restaurant and Catering business. Every time you sit down to eat, you'll enjoy a taste of his grandmother's lovingly-created meals. Born and raised in Yemen, Mohammed came to the USA in 2014 to pursue an Aviation Engineering degree. However. as fate would have it, he was introduced to the culinary world while working inside his cousin's New York-based restaurant. He was hooked, and decided to switch passions to become a restaurateur. Now, he offers a delicious taste of his beloved Yemeni cuisine.We then looked back from last year to enjoy another trip around the globe, celebrating the holiday season with both co-hosts Gene Blum and Amaris Pollock as they took turns describing some interesting and fun traditions across the globe! We're talking about food traditions, fun places that you can visit for amazing holiday experiences, and events and locations that you might not know about!Rounding out this week's show, we're bringing you the newest food truck that is hot-diggity-dog delicious! Co-Owners Eric Mayhew and Chef Brian Smith joined us to discuss their new venture, Dawg House Grille. The artisanal hotdog, smashburger, and breakfast truck is run by the father-son duo's all of whom have a specific role to play for the venture. Johnson & Wales graduate, Brian Smith, comes up with the creative menu items, his father/partner is their pitmaster, Eric Mayhew not only helps cook, he literally helps to keep the truck (and kitchen) running, and Dennis Mayhew is their CFO with years of entrepreneurial experience. You can find them parked outside the future home of Sirius Brewing Company, or contact them for any event or catering needs!
