“We are not chefs. We are just grandmothers (who are) sharing our culture,” said Maral Tseylikman.
The Staten Island, New York eatery has a unique concept: With the idea that no one cooks a more heartful meal better than a grandmother, the restaurant is home to a rotating cast of grandmothers — or nonnas — who cook the meals they’ve been providing their families for generations.
Donna spent time talking to chefs and grandmas Tseylikman from Azerbaijan, Gialanella from Italy, and May"Dolly" Joseph from Sri Lanka during her visit to restaurant. Each one of these ladies has been serving dishes from its kitchen for at least seven years, with Gialanella boasting a decade of service.There, they talked about the women’s experiences with one another, preparing the dishes they know best and serving happy patrons, saying friends and happiness come with the job.
“Many times, these women are empty nesters, their husbands have passed away. Their children have moved out,” Scaravella told Donna. “So, they’re really looking for an outlet and they have it here. And you know, if they’re not hugging me, they’re hugging their customers.”
