Today, Uri Buri’s eponymous restaurant “Uri Buri” has garnered international acclaim - but his culinary journey began just steps from home, on Israel’s stunning seaside. Deeply influenced by his family’s tradition of hosting guests from around the world, Uri cultivated a lifelong passion for cooking and community. So, fueled by ambition from a young age, Uri decided to leave school early and pursue his culinary dreams.
Traveling the globe in a Volkswagen van, Uri spent several years delighting customers with fresh, inventive flavors that would become his signature. Eventually, seeking stability and a place to build a family, Uri opened his restaurant in the historic and culturally rich city of Akko.
In this episode, Uri reflects on a harrowing period in his life and career, revealing an unflappable optimism and resilience. Join Gil as he explores Uri’s insights about his unwavering convictions, commitment to community, and the power of food.
