The meals, using quality ingredients, are made from scratch every day. Ali Sabbah says it's the only way to do it.Sabbah has made a career out of serving Middle Eastern food at his Mazza restaurant in the 15th and 15th neighborhood of Salt Lake City. Often, his small restaurant is packed with customers.
That menu, which comes from his Lebanese roots, is now giving him national attention. This week, Mazza was named a finalist for the James Beard Award."It came out of the blue," Sabbah said. "It's pretty much the most prestigious award that every chef and restauranteur aspire to actually be part of.""It's always in the mind of every restaurateur, every chef, is where do I stand?"Sabbah started Mazza in 2000.
Sabbah said being able to get back to preparing food, working with recipes, and creating the kinds of unique Middle Eastern dishes Mazza is known for, made him happy. "We fly under the radar, yes. People think that Salt Lake City and Utah doesn't have good cuisine. We have amazing cuisine."
