CASABLANCA ON BRADY

Our journey started in Jerusalem in 1961, when Jesse Musa was just ten years old, he worked in his father and grandfather's restaurant and pastry shop where he learned to cook. He says "cooking is something I can make a living on and I love it!" At the age of 20, in 1971, with no certainty of what was in store, Casablanca Patriarch, Jesse Musa, made the decision to immigrate to the United States with his father. With a suitcase and a couple dollars, Chicago would be his new home. Jesse Musa never could've imagined, as a chef in a Syrian Bakery, Zyad Brothers, which is now an International Food Distribution Company, would eventually lead to a long and deeply rooted history in Milwaukee as an Executive Chef, Restaurateur, Entrepreneur and a Culinary Staple... Everything Casablanca has turned into, from adding a second-floor addition to the Brady Street location, enclosing the west-side, second floor terrace with retractable roofs and sliding glass panels to opening a second Casablanca..
