Mediterranean Deli owner shares his optimism for a mended community despite recent protests
Posted Aug 31, 2018
It's hard to believe the culinary success of Mediterranean Deli began with 12 chairs, six tables and one 6-foot deli case. Jamil Kadoura, an immigrant from Palestine, has built a small empire despite facing social and cultural challenges throughout his 27 years as a restaurant owner. Kadoura opened Med Deli in 1992 with the help of his family and has since expanded six times.
