Bader Aljarbou found his passion for gastronomy at a very young age. Before he started cooking, he was accumulating knowledge about the gastronomical world from some of the best chefs in the world in the form of watching their programs, reading their books, attending their classes, and even dining at their restaurants. Some of these chefs are Joël Robuchon, Thomas Keller, Alain Ducasse, the Roux brothers, and many more. Bader considers himself to be a self-taught cook as he did not have formal and classical training at a restaurant or a culinary school. Bader has a double bachelor's degree in entrepreneurship and psychology from The George Washington University in Washington D.C. Bader's goal is to help put Saudi Arabia on the map of the gastronomical world by stepping outside the norms and challenging the impossible in the art of gastronomy.
