Sarah Hymanson

Sarah Hymanson’s cooking pulls from endless inspirations, from her Chicago upbringing to her fondness for fermentation. In 2013, she brought that unique culinary style to Glasserie in Brooklyn, where she connected with the restaurant’s opening chef, Sara Kramer. Two years later, they moved to Los Angeles to launch a restaurant of their own, fast-casual falafel concept Madcapra. They followed it up with Kismet, a Middle Eastern–inflected brick-and-mortar, and multiple locations of Kismet Rotisserie. Whether they’re schmaltz-ing the heck out of potatoes or doling out lustrous, saffron-laden tahdigs, if Hymanson and Kramer are around, you know something delicious is happening.
