In the heart of Brownsville, Brooklyn, I spent a full day with Taha Alassari — a New York City public school teacher who’s quietly building one of the most inspiring side hustles in NYC. By day, he’s guiding young men toward a better future at Eagle Academy. After hours, he shifts into another gear, teaming up with his three younger brothers to build a halal chicken wing shop that’s exploded into 7+ locations in just three years. From the classroom to the kitchen, Taha is proving that where you start doesn’t define where you can go. In this episode, we follow Taha through his morning classes, meet the teachers shaping the next generation, and then ride with him to the grand opening of his newest wing spot. If you love NYC food, Brooklyn eats, halal food, street food stories, or entrepreneur success journeys, this one is for you. Get ready for a gritty, honest look at what it takes to balance the classroom grind with building one of the best chicken wings in NYC — and how a family side hustle turned into something much bigger.
