Introduction: Hello, I am Bangaly kaba, a seasoned chef with a passion for culinary excellence and a diverse background that has shaped my culinary journey. Originally hailing from West Africa, I was immersed in a rich tapestry of flavors, spices, and culinary traditions that ignited my love for cooking from a young age.
Drawing inspiration from my West African roots, I embarked on a culinary adventure that eventually led me to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I honed my skills and expertise in the culinary arts. It was in the vibrant culinary scene of Ann Arbor that I began my professional career as a chef, blending traditional West African flavors with contemporary techniques to create innovative and memorable dishes.
With each dish I create, I strive to infuse my West African heritage and culinary experiences into every bite, creating a fusion of flavors that tantalizes the taste buds and delights the senses. From humble beginnings in West Africa to the bustling kitchens of Ann Arbor, my culinary journey has been a testament to my dedication to the art of cooking and my commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences to my valued clients. I am excited to share my culinary creations with you, showcasing the unique blend of flavors and techniques that define my culinary style. Join me on a gastronomic adventure that celebrates the intersection of tradition and innovation, as we embark on a culinary experience that transcends borders and cultures. I look forward to creating memorable dining experiences for you and sharing my culinary passion with each dish I prepare.
The name “HighWay 10” is inspired by the Western African transatlantic highway and aerial route that connects West Africa to South America, known as the 10th parallel. This route has historical significance as it was used by slave ships and merchants, linking 12 Western African countries with colonial histories involving France, England, Spain, and Portugal. Growing up in Guinea Conakry, a vibrant coastal capital on the Atlantic Ocean, has shaped my perspective and contributed to my fluency in seven languages.
My goal with HighWay 10 is to create dishes that not only tantalize taste buds but also touch hearts and tell stories. I strive to offer a contemporary and global culinary experience that reflects my passion for food and cultural connections.
