Ayesha Nurdjaja Joins Bobby’s Triple Threat as the Newest Titan

Chef Ayesha Nurdjaja makes her Food Network Obsessed debut to talk about her Italian and Indonesian roots and building her NYC restaurants Shuka and Shukette into vibrant, herb-forward destinations. She shares why she calls her food a “Middle Eastern party,” what it means to celebrate community through flavor, and how recognition like her James Beard nomination shaped her journey. Ayesha opens up about her unconventional path from law firm assistant to culinary school student, with pit stops dreaming of DJing and even dealing diamonds. And of course, Ayesha dishes on stepping into her biggest role yet… becoming the newest Titan on Bobby’s Triple Threat. From Bobby Flay’s surprise phone call at the gym, to training sessions at Food Network Kitchen, to the surreal moment of seeing her face on the giant posters in New York City, Ayesha shares the nerves, joy, and validation of taking her seat on the Titan couch.
