ATEF BOULABBI and her husband Adam Berkowitz started SOS Chefs in 1996, and since have grown into the bespoke Tunisian-inspired shop that curates hundreds of items from all across the world; from spices, and exotic grains, to mushrooms, vinegars, oils, tinctures and more. Boulaabi works with everyone from Michelin starred chefs to curious home cooks, extending her wealth of knowledge around ingredients, holistics and the profound influence that food has on our culture & experiences. Greeting patrons with a “Yes Chef!?” at every opportunity, SOS Chefs is the modern-day Mecca of Merchants hidden amongst the streets of the East Village on Avenue B and an institution among the culinary community at large.
