Season 1 Ep 6: From Refugee to Restaurant Owner

Our sixth episode of Culture & Cuisine the Podcast presents Tina Ambelue, owner and chef of Blue Nile, one of Houston's only Ethiopian restaurants.

Tina takes us on the journey through her cleaning career, back injury, and ultimately, restaurant opening. This is the story of the power of community and the struggles that come from leaving friends and family behind in the pursuit of freedom and happiness. Although many of us are fortunate enough to avoid refugee-ism, the idea of making sacrifices to find happiness is something that remind us, we aren’t all that different after all.

Join us as we discover the culture & cuisine of the Ethiopians.
