\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Omar Rada (@omar<\/a>) is the founder of Misen<\/a>, a kitchenware company making top-notch chef’s knives that has one heck of a story. Misen started as a Kickstarter campaign that crowdfunded over fourteen times its campaign goal in the first few hours! Omar’s early success has clearly shown that the Misen chef’s knife is a much needed product in the kitchenware market. Knives are on pre-order with a Spring 2016 ship date. And while you eagerly anticipate your knife, you can get to know Omar!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your business in ten words or less?<\/strong>
Premium, quality kitchenware at honest prices.<\/p>\n

What’s the most important thing we should know about your business?<\/strong>
At Misen, we know quality kitchen tools are vital for a better cooking experience, yet by themselves are nothing. It all starts, and ends, with good ingredients.<\/p>\n

How do you define good food?<\/strong>
Olive oil + garlic + salt + pepper + almost anything.<\/p>\n

What was your biggest challenge in relation to your business?<\/strong>
Finding the right knife maker to partner with. This was a long, drawn-out search that was incredibly frustrating at times, but ultimately we found a partner we are thrilled to be working with.<\/p>\n

Who is your food inspiration?<\/strong>
My mom \ud83d\ude42 Like many other mothers, everything she prepares is sublime.<\/p>\n

Best part about being in the food industry?<\/strong>
The FOOD itself! How can it not be!?<\/p>\n

Worst part about being in the food industry?<\/strong>
Not enough time to eat all the good food!<\/p>\n

If you weren\u2019t doing what you\u2019re doing, what would you be doing?<\/strong>
Professional dad-joke teller. Two peanuts were walking down a dark alley. One was a salted.<\/p>\n

Who is one famous person, dead or alive, that you want to share a meal with? And where?<\/strong>
Such a good question! But my celebrity IQ is zero!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s always in your fridge?<\/strong>
Almond milk, always!<\/p>\n

Your good food wish?<\/strong>
Transparency in our food supply chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
