About Chef Avi Shemtov
Chef Avi Shemtov grew up in the kitchens of his dad Yona’s restaurants in Greater Boston. Yona, an Israeli immigrant, instilled in his son a love of hard work, great food and their Sephardic Jewish culture.
Shemtov took that passion and launched The Chubby Chickpea (www.thechubbychickea.com) food truck in 2010, one of the earliest entries in the now bustling Boston food truck scene. Chubby Chickpea soon developed a devoted following for its fresh, modern, innovative versions of Middle Eastern street food classics. Chubby Chickpea specialized in taproom service outside many of New England’s most celebrated breweries, furthering Chubby Chickpea’s reputation of being at the forefront of Boston food trends and culture.
Chef Avi entered the craft beer business in 2017, when he launched Tapped Beer Truck (www.tappedbeeryruck.com), Greater Boston’s first mobile craft beer bar. The Tapped Beer Truck fleet now boasts three trucks and serves world-class beer at public, private and corporate events throughout Greater Boston.
Shemtov dove deep into his Sephardic Jewish heritage in the autumn of 2017 and spring of 2018 when he launched the Simcha pop-up dinner series at eateries throughout Greater Boston. The success of the dinner series inspired Shemtov to pursue is first brick-and-mortar restaurant.
Simcha will open in January 2019 in Shemtov’s hometown of Sharon, Mass., just outside Boston. It will feature globally inspired Israeli soul food with a New England accent. Simcha will offer fresh-baked pita and savory dishes from a custom-built wood-fired oven, a world-class beer list and modern Israeli flavors paired with locally sourced New England ingredients.
Simcha is a Hebrew word that means joyous celebration, usually one centered around family and food. It is also the name of Shemtov’s paternal grandmother, making Simcha a deeply personal project for Chef Avi.
