Ori Zohar is the co-founder & co-CEO of Burlap & Barrel, the first comprehensive single origin spice company in the US. A Public Benefit Corporation, Burlap & Barrel partners directly with smallholder farms around the world to build equitable, transparent, and sustainable spice supply chains. Their spices have been featured on Shark Tank and The Bear on Hulu, and last year, they shipped over 1 million jars of spices to chefs and home cooks nationwide.

As executive chef at @posthastephilly, an award-winning restaurant & cocktail bar in Philadelphia, Ari works to craft a rotating menu with intention: incorporating locally sourced, seasonal ingredients making this neighborhood spot not only farm-to-table and farm-to-glass. 

Ari previously served as executive chef of The Rosewood Hotel in D.C. for Wolfgang Puck, and was chef/owner of Musi, a critically acclaimed restaurant where he created a higher standard in the Philadelphia food world for using artisanal, often local, hyper-seasonal produce, cheeses and meats. He’s also the chef behind @poidogforever sauces, reflecting his ongoing exploration of bold, culturally informed flavors and community-driven cooking.
