Ghaidaa Masrabi is a talented Syrian chef and entrepreneur who has become a cornerstone of the St. Louis culinary community. As a lead chef for the Fork in the Road Foundation, she is dedicated to sharing the warmth of Syrian hospitality while building a sustainable future for her family.
Originally from Damascus, Ghaidaa arrived in St. Louis in 2016. She is best known for “Ghaidaa’s Table,” where she introduces the community to the traditional Syrian breakfast—a multi-course ritual designed for conversation and connection. Specializing in the bold flavors of the Levant, her menus feature handmade falafel, savory manakeesh, and authentic spreads that turn strangers into friends.
Through her work with Fork in the Road, Ghaidaa’s journey from refugee to established business owner serves as a powerful inspiration for other women in the program.
