Summary

Co-host Tiffany Eslick is joined by Spero Panagakis and Chef Alex Stumpf from BB Social Dining. They're known for their bold Eastern-inspired flavours and strong commitment to local sourcing and are now bringing their signature bang bang chicken baos to select Spinneys stores. BB Social Dining has become one of the UAE’s favourite homegrown concepts with venues in DIFC and Time Out Market Dubai. This episode continues our new micro-series called The Chef's Counter, an extension of our recently launched in-store initiative to support the chefs, founders and food entrepreneurs shaping the UAE’s dining scene. The past five weeks have been a great start, with cookies, bagels, salads, pastelitos, tacos and baklava launched in stores from a range of talented chefs.
