Chef Ali
Born near the Mediterranean Sea, Chef Ali was inspired by the fresh seafood available off the coast. He attended culinary school in Turkey before working for a cruise line, where he explored cuisines from all over the world. Chef Ali later relocated to New Jersey and opened an Italian restaurant. From there, he decided to pursue his interest in fresh Californian ingredients and moved west to Napa, where he opened a farm-to-table eatery. Today, Chef Ali teaches cooking classes in the Bay Area.
