I have been working for over 15 years in the restaurant and catering business. From Senegal my home town to Argentina, Brazil and the US, I managed different restaurant from fine to casual dinning.
After culinary school, I led many different teams in several restaurants in Argentina, Brazil, and the United States.
I proudly lead a kitchen team in charge of cooking for Athletes during the 2014 Soccer World cup and 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
As a successful Chef, Oumar takes the initiative to start my own concept highlighting my cooking experience and travel history. This called The Damel, a where I am connecting global flavors with the local community.
