A Chester County chef and business owner is returning to the World Central Kitchen, writes John McDevitt of KYW Newsradio.

A year ago, Olga Sorzano volunteered in Poland to feed Ukrainian refugees. Now, the owner of Phoenixville’s Baba’s Brew is taking her cooking expertise and humanitarian streak back to the Eastern Hemisphere; this time in Turkey. 

Earlier this month, earthquakes in Turkey and Syria killed 50,000 people and destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings. Sorzano is now in Antakya and so far, has fed 800 earthquake victims. 

“We pretty much cook and stay in the same place so we have our tent where we have our provisions,” she said. “We have our tent where we cook and we have our tent where we sleep.” 

Sorzano is a restaurant industry veteran and is quite an entrepreneur. She started Baba’s Brew in 2015, and opened a tasting room called “A Culture Factory” in 2017.
