Back in March of 2018 we sat down with Vanda Asapahu of Ayara Thai for what would be, unbeknownst to us, our last in person interview for a long, long, long time.  Somehow in the shuffle of the world shutting down, we misplaced the interview...until now!  It’s a beautiful tale of family, food and building a special place for community and also is a snapshot of the restaurant industry before everything we knew about it changed forever. 

Then we are so excited to have TOMI back in for a live performance and to chat about her new track “Lemon Tree” which will be coming out on her new debut “Sweet, Sweet Honey”. It’s an insightful conversation about the creative process, going home and letting go.
