#614now — Celebrating Diverse Columbus Food by 614now Staff January 30, 2017 614now Staff This is co-owner Nasir Latif sitting down to a traditional Arabic breakfast. This simple meal reminds him of his years growing up in Palestine. He moved to San Francisco in 1979 as a fresh, 18-year-old high school graduate. His father was a naturalized citizen, so he took it upon himself to come to the United States to make a better life for himself. One of his three jobs at the time was a dishwasher at a 5-star restaurant. Proving to the chef that he could cook, he worked his way up the ranks. The chance he was given now allows him to employ 22 people at Lavash, giving them the opportunity to take charge of their own destiny. This is the American Dream!A photo posted by Lavash Cafe (@lavashcafe) on Jan 28, 2017 at 9:17am PSTThis is co-owner Jamal Latif, son of Nasir Latif. Being a first generation American, born and raised in Columbus, he always felt the need to take advantage of every opportunity afforded to him in this country. He is the behind the scenes motor that keeps things running efficiently at Lavash. When he isn’t in the restaurant, you can find him at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry earning his DDS. He credits the immigrant work ethic instilled in him throughout his life for the ability to be able to pursue both of his passions in life.
