Manage episode 494663117 series 2927425
Growing up in 1990s Sydney, Myra Karakelle rarely met others who shared her unique cultural food combinations, blending her Uzbek and Afghan heritage. Her family's dinner table, however, was a vibrant celebration of these two Central Asian cultures through food. Today, Myra brings these traditions, along with a love for Australian sandwiches, to her deli, MLK Deli.
