Jambo!
I am honored to be a semi-finalist for the James Beard Foundation's 2022 Awards for Best Chef in the Southwest Region. I'm thrilled and excited to be considered. It has been a long journey from Lamu, Kenya, sailing out with tourists to fish and then cooking their catch on the beach to opening Jambo Cafe in Santa Fe in 2009. I've enjoyed it all. I am grateful and humbled by all of your support over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love,
Chef Ahmed Obo
Owner, Jambo Cafe
