Joanna Kassem, between mountain and manakish
bio

After the Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020, Joanna Kassem left the Lebanese capital for Chamonix, France, guided by her love of nature.

In Lebanon, she had created Kitsch, a concept store in Gemmayzé where she quickly felt confined ; next, she managed and ran the Sursock Museum Restaurant for four years, bringing her wonderful energy to the role. Finally, she worked at Tusk, where she was in charge of bread, cakes, pastries, and pizzas until August 2020.

Today, she is recreating a corner of Lebanon in her red trailer, Saj Street Food Libanais, in Haute-Savoie. Between mountains and manakich, she has found peace, a taste for sharing, and the strength of those who have transformed pain into rebirth.
