Ashraf is the founder and owner of Ash & Kris Kitchen. He was born in Syria but lived his life in different countries of the Middle East. Because Ashraf had a passion for Mediterranean food making, he worked tirelessly to gain his culinary skills by trade during his time in Lebanon. He served as a front-line chef in many highly regarded restaurants in Lebanon and led teams of catering and culinary personal for years.

In 2015, Ashraf migrated to the United States to build his American Dream. He did so by starting Ash & Kris Kitchen in 2017. Years later, Ashraf remains on top of his food service establishment, ensuring the freshness, flavor, and quality of each item served in his truck.
