meet tamir
Tamir is the owner of Focachís food truck in Brooklyn, NY. From a very young age, he was drawn to the kitchen. While other kids were playing, he was standing quietly behind my mom and grandmother, watching every movement - how they chopped, kneaded, seasoned, and tasted. He wasn’t just observing; he was studying. I was fascinated by the rhythm of it all - the way simple ingredients could transform into something that brought everyone to the table.
Bread, especially, captured his heart. There was something magical about flour, water, salt, and time becoming something alive. The smell of fresh bread, the sound of a crust cracking, the warmth of it in your hands. It felt powerful. Even as a kid, he understood that bread wasn’t just food. It was a connection.
