Since 2015, Chef Ben has been sharing the love of Persian cuisine and culture by curating private cooking classes, cinematic story telling and online content creation through Café Bagheri. Drawing inspiration from his Persian and Mediterranean roots, Chef Ben has expertly coalesced his traditions into an easily enjoyable experience for all.

Operating Café Bagheri primarily as a virtual restaurant, Chef Ben has enthusiastically hosted a variety of online events. YouTube videos, Twitch livestreams, private online Zoom classes, Instagram community building, and of course — showcasing his incredible Persian recipes!

about cafe bagheri

Growing up in Iran, Chef Ben spent many incredible years learning from his fathers in the kitchen. Developing a sensory intuition when it comes to food has been one of Chef Ben’s superpowers. Serendipitously, several of his family members own restaurants and bars in the United States – from burgers to fine French food — which proves that food is in the Bagheri veins!

For Chef Ben, the full experience is about experimenting with recipes, re-creating food, and making memories with mixology. Transforming food into what Chef Ben has coined “Persian Fusion” has been the name of his game.
