Tarek Hassan
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
"Cooking is like... kungfu." Susur Lee
In 2013, after years of hard work at some Ottawa’s best restaurants, Tarek was ready to do his own thing. Before many people had even tried his food, some super folks backed an indieGoGo campaign that helped make the Gongfu Bao Cart a reality. He opened the cart that August and has been serving tasty hand-crafted bao for the past four years. Now, with building plans in hand and a great location in the heart of Ottawa’s Centretown, Tarek can truly answer the question, “Where’s your restaurant?"
