I get so caught up in what happens here in the U.S. that sometimes I forget that anti-immigrant sentiment exists in other places. Thank you @smolpal.jpeg for putting me on to this story through a meal at @asianhomecook.kitchen. Food is so powerful.

For the Chicago Sun-Times/WBEZ, a tale on immigration, culinary aspirations and a family supporting their mother’s dream: “A Rohingya Muslim immigrant dreamed of opening a restaurant. Now she owns Asian Homecook in West Ridge

Asian Homecook, a 45-seat restaurant serving halal Malaysian food, began as a side hustle born of necessity for Toyuba Amir Ali, who immigrated to the U.S. in 2024.”

Drop 🍳and I’ll DM you the link.
