« Chez Mama Sacko & Fils »
For a few days, chef Mory Sacko made his dream restaurant a reality: Mory opened a restaurant… with his mom in the kitchen, “Chez Mama Sacko & Fils.”
In the world of gastronomy, chefs often highlight the savoir-faire and their love for cooking inherited from their mother or grandmother. While there may sometimes be a bit of opportunism or storytelling behind this narrative, for some, it resonates as a deep and sincere tribute.
This is how Chez Mama Sacko & Fils was born, a pop-up restaurant supported by Badoit and conceived by Phamily First, where Mory Sacko invited his mother to cook with him in a gastronomic experience that pays homage to the culinary memories of his childhood and, more specifically, to the Senegalese-Malian cuisine of his mother.
“The challenge was to imagine the restaurant of my dreams. The problem is that the restaurant of my dreams, I already work in it, it’s MoSuke,” smiles Mory Sacko. “So I took the reflection a step further and came up with the idea of a restaurant where I would cook with my mother. My siblings and I often joke that she already has a bit of a restaurant, cooking for a family as large as ours, and often even for her neighbors.”
🫶 “Chez Mama Sacko & Fils” celebrates the transmission and sharing of delicious dishes influenced by West Africa.
