In this week’s episode of The St. Louis Podcast, we’re bringing you a special treat as we chat with Emir Nalic, co-owner of the much-beloved Balkan Treat Box. Emir’s story is as fascinating as his food, beginning in Bosnia and weaving through Europe before finding a home in St. Louis. He’ll share his journey, the challenges of relocating, and how these experiences deeply influence his approach to cooking. It’s a tale of resilience, culture, and the universal language of good food.
We also get a sneak peek into the family dynamics behind Balkan Treat Box. Emir, along with his brother Edo and sister-in-law Loryn, has created a unique culinary haven that’s more than just a restaurant. He talks about the importance of family in their business, the joy of working with loved ones, and how their shared history shapes every dish they create. Listeners will get an inside look at what it takes to run a successful family-operated eatery, and the delightful chaos that often ensues.
To top it off, Emir shares some mouth-watering details about their famous menu items and gives us a hint about what’s cooking for the future of Balkan Treat Box. Whether you’re a die-hard foodies or just love a good story, this episode is a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and heartfelt storytelling. So, grab a snack (you’ll need it!) and tune in for a deliciously engaging episode that celebrates the rich tapestry of Balkan flavors right here in St. Louis.
