Ahmed Bharoocha - Bring a Brick

Dinner at Your Place? by Danny Killea

Episode notes

Comedian and Actor Ahmed Bharoocha comes by and asks Danny to make Ohn No Khauk Swe (Burmese Chicken Coconut Soup)

Ahmed gives us a lesson on where exactly Burma is, and along the way explains a little of his family history. It's a mixed bag of cultures and religions (some of which don't get along) but rather than push himself into one specific box, Ahmed has found himself more comfortable blending his worlds even if some people say "you can't be both."

We learn a little about Ahmed's children as well, and how he's the day-to-day caretaker. A father in that position, he's heard all the classic comments like "mom's day off?" It can be frustrating, but rather than get frustrated he leans into it for a personal giggle, all the while knowing with his kids is where he feels most comfortable.
