Executive Chef Avishar Barua is inspired by a midwestern upbringing, bold flavors of his Bangladeshi roots, and a mother that knew how to throw an incredible dinner party.
His fresh interpretation of familiar flavors is the culmination of an impressive career, with roles at New York’s Mission Chinese and WD-50, and locally at 1808 American Bistro and Veritas. At Middle West’s Service Bar, Chef Barua and his team translate the foundations of great cuisine into inventive dishes for all to enjoy.
