Meeting Dawa for the first time and actually having her sit with us was inspiring, especially knowing a bit about her struggle to have the restaurant the way she wanted - resisting with respect to her families wanting to open a typical Tibetan spot.  While listening to her personal story of becoming the person she is today with the immense experience of life to achieve her personal goal and growth as the chef she is today. I’m glad we took this opportunity to meet/sit with her and get all these details about her wandering out in the world before she opened her restaurant.  She had ventured out in the world to search for the food she is preparing for her customers today by acquiring all the skills from traveling around the world working for various restaurants giving them her time and hard-work. This is passion and dedication that our listeners will enjoy for sure.
