About this episode

Chef Wadad Zarzour, co-founder of Doughbai, joins Tiffany Eslick for week 8 of The Chef’s Counter. Doughbai is one of Dubai’s favourite neighbourhood bistros that’s built around the art of slow fermentation sourdough, and delicious Levantine flavours.

For The Chef’s Counter, Chef Wadad is bringing Doughbai’s trio of dips to Spinneys — their signature hand-strained labneh and feta with za'atar, jalapeno & walnuts, the sundried tomato, olives & walnut dip, and the muhamara.

The Chef’s Counter micro-series is an extension of our in-store initiative to support the chefs and food entrepreneurs shaping the UAE’s dining scene.
