One of my most memorable food travel experiences was eating at the historic @thefourway in South Memphis. While Dr. King is the dignitary most closely associated with dining here during his time in Memphis, the story goes much deeper. The family that has preserved this landmark has safeguarded not just a restaurant, but a living piece of Memphis history.

Our visit with @ujimaboston team centered on the question:

“What does a solidarity economy look like in Memphis at a time when underprivileged and overlooked communities around the world are facing unprecedented challenges?”

Although my trip was brief, it left a lasting impression. I saw how community land trusts—when thoughtfully designed and stewarded—can help preserve working-class communities while creating pathways for local ownership and resilience.

Perhaps the biggest lesson was the simplest one: a shared meal can do more than nourish people. It can start conversations, build trust, and spark meaningful relationships that strengthen a community from the ground up.

An All You Can Eat ✨June Nepali Thali✨ — hosted on last Tuesday of each month.   This June 30th we are guided by the authentic recipes and cooking traditions of Ama, Biplaw’s Mother ❤️

In Nepali culture, a Thali is more than a meal. It is a complete expression of hospitality and balance. Each tray brings together a variety of small dishes meant to be enjoyed together, creating harmony between six essential flavors: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, and astringent.

We look forward to sharing these personal dishes to our neighbors and friends in Boston at Comfort Kitchen.  Tickets 🎟️ are available on our website and OpenTable. taken in Comfort Kitchen by @biplawrai

Hand-folded by family. Filled with tradition. 🥟

Our mo:mos are made with love by our founder, @biplawrai’s papa. Using his traditional family recipe - carried from Nepal - we share them here with you at Ama for lunch.

Your choice of either pork or veg. Both served with our house-made tomato achaar.

MoMo 🤍 (1/27/2013 - 2/10/2026)
White, fluffy, with all those adorable folds—and that’s exactly how you got your name.

We lost you back in February, and it’s taken me time to find some sense of closure. Life feels quieter without you.

You and Moxie carried us through some of our hardest days during the pandemic. Your love, your presence, your simple joy—you gave us more than we can ever repay. For that, I’ll always be grateful.

I miss you, my dear boy. Your loving ways, your warmth, and the happiness you brought into our lives will never be forgotten. For everyone that has been part of MoMo and Moxie’s life, THANK YOU !!🐾 #momomoxie #oldenglishbulldogge by @biplawrai

I’m honored to be part of the inaugural OpenTable 2026 Ambassador Council.

We are in the business of service, and OpenTable has been an incredible partner—one that not only listens closely to our needs but actively prioritizes helping restaurants succeed, stay sustainable, and build meaningful connections with their guests.

Being part of this council is a unique opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and help shape the future of hospitality. Alongside such passionate and talented hospitality leaders, I’m excited to contribute, learn from this inspiring group, and continue elevating the dining experience in our communities.

Hospitality is built on shared ideas and constant iteration, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with a group of leaders who are pushing the industry forward in their own ways.

Excited for what’s next.
