Hamissi Mamba talks to his cooks inside his restaurant, Baobab Fare, Friday, May 24, 2024, in Detroit. For Mamba and Nadia Nijimbere _ who own Baobab Fare in Detroit _ a win among the five finalists in the James Beard's "Outstanding Restaurateur" category would be personal. The couple, who fled Burundi about a decade ago, faced a difficult road as refugees opening a business in America. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
