Alexander Harik is the proud, Lebanese-American creator of Zesty Z. He draws his inspiration for Zesty Z directly from Lebanon, a crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations located in the heart of the Mediterranean. Lebanese culture is a mosaic of flavors, sounds, smells, and tastes that has transformed over thousands of years but is still demonstrated best by its food and the hospitality of its people.  Thanks to his parents, Alexander learned as a child that food is love. As he grew older and his life became more hectic, Alexander longed for the aroma of his grandmother’s and mother’s kitchens, the simple pleasure of sitting around the table with family and friends, and the taste of za’atar.  Zesty Z was created to bring the flavors of his family’s kitchen directly to your table.
