ODOumar DioufChef

• As printed Chef Oumar Diouf is one of the most internationally trained culinary voices in American kitchens — a Senegalese-born chef whose career spans four continents and culminates in Miami, where his vision for The Damel is finally realized at its fullest. His culinary foundation was built across Senegal, Argentina, and Brazil — where he discovered that 80% of Bahian cuisine traces its roots to West Africa. That realization became The Damel: the first restaurant to honor that lineage openly, on a plate. In 2016, Chef Diouf led kitchen operations for 5,000 guests daily at the Rio Olympics. In 2017, he founded The Damel in Oakland, growing it to a multi-location brand. Today, he brings that same vision — elevated, sophisticated, and perfectly positioned — to Miami. 🇸🇳 Senegal Roots & Culinary Heritage 🇦🇷 Argentina Culinary Training · Restaurant Owner 🇧🇷 Brazil Executive Chef · 2016 Rio Olympics 🇺🇸
