Ali Kobeissi, founded Open Sesame 25 years ago to provide for his family and share Lebanon’s flavors with California. As a provider and role model, Ali’s compassion, guidance, and authenticity have made him a father to many.

From the cobblestone streets of Lebanon to the vibrant avenues of California, this little boy, hand-in-hand with his greatest inspiration—his mom, brought more than just memories across the seas. He brought his mother’s love language, the warmth of her kitchen, and the flavors that turn meals into family gatherings at Open Sesame. Today, we celebrate all the incredible mothers who teach us that love, like good food, knows no boundaries. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! 💐🌍
