The Chefs Behind Two Hommés Merge Afrocentric Flavors with L.A. Flair

Resy highlighted Two Hommés as an Inglewood success story built by chef-owners Marcus “Chef Mando” Yaw Johnson and Abdoulaye “Chef AB” Balde, whose Afrocentric cooking is shaped by Los Angeles, Ghanaian and Senegalese influences, and the communities they grew up in.
