5 of Brooklyn’s Food Influencers Talk About the State of Brooklyn Food
Avi Shuker: Mimi’s Hummus, The Castello Plan, Market
If you had to eat your last meal in Brooklyn, what would it be?
Roman’s. No doubt.
What new restaurant venture in Brooklyn are you most excited about right now?
Marco’s, the new Italian restaurant in Prospect Heights from the team behind Franny’s.
How did you get your start in the food business? And how did you end up with this mini-empire in Ditmas Park? What drew you there, as a businessman and as a resident?
We decided to open Mimi’s Hummus because friends and family raved about Mimi’s food. But I have lived in Ditmas Park since 2004, and the combination between changing your neighborhood to suit your lifestyle, seeing the future potential of businesses, and hosting and feeding people, makes me happy and gives me a lot of pleasure.
