“I observe. I document. And more recently, I speak my mind.” Hani AlMalki on Dubai’s F&B reset, credibility over clout, and a restaurant career built without a restaurant.
Hani AlMalki — aka Bedouinfoodie — returns to podcast for a second sit-down, and it lands nothing like the first. When war hit the region, he started writing: a daily diary on his Instagram Stories that became required reading for Dubai’s food community, built on the one thing most creators trade away early: credibility. The conversation runs through the reset Dubai‘s restaurant scene needed, why comfort food wins in uncertain times, how AI became his trial chef, and the business model he built inside other people‘s restaurants.
