q&a with chef judy

Meet Chef Judy Karkour, the mind behind õdē by judy, a supper club where each menu is built around a single seasonal ingredient. Raised in Damascus and rooted in a culture where the sufra is sacred, Judy blends her background in art with her deep love for home-style cooking to create experiences that are as thoughtful as they are flavorful.

From her first “õdē to mushrooms” to now her ninth menu, Judy’s style is spontaneous, heartful, and quietly innovative, a celebration of ingredients, memories, and the joy of gathering. At her table, food isn’t just served, it’s felt.
