The Shawarma Has Landed: Samesa Settles Down in Williamsburg
For two chefs that had yet to (technically) run their own restaurant, brothers Eli and Max Sussman somehow managed to maintain an exceptionally high industry profile for years. In fact, while working their way up the ranks at popular NYC establishments (Eli at Mile End, Max at Roberta’s and The Cleveland), they impressively garnered not just one, but three cookbook deals, commencing with “This is A Cookbook” in 2012, and culminating with “Classic Recipes for Modern People” in 2015, currently ranked by Amazon under the category “Celebrities.”
