Eventually, the goal is to have a long-term stable restaurant that doesn't move but the way it works now, in residencies, is certainly an interesting and provocative way to get the name out and share women's cooking with London at large. The upcoming residency will run from July 1 to July 26 at The Yard Theatre in London, United Kingdom. Each night features a different refugee or migrant chef. Founded by half-Greek half-German Nikandre Kopcke and inspired by a Greek woman, Mazí Mas is run by educated women (and men) who join [community building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mooie-buurt) with a love of food. **Contact Information** Mazí Mas [website](http://www.mazimas.co.uk/) Mazí on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/eatmazimas) Mazí on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/eatmazimas) Mazí on [Vimeo](http://vimeo.com/user25007258) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Roaming Restaurants:** Opportunity for innovative culinary experiences by partnering with migrant or refugee chefs. - **Social Business:** Opportunity to create employment and support marginalized communities through food-based initiatives. - **Community Building:** Opportunity to foster connections and bridge cultural gaps through shared food experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for restaurants to collaborate with migrant or refugee chefs to offer unique and diverse menus. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels and resorts to incorporate roaming refugee restaurants as a unique dining experience for their guests. - **Social Enterprise:** Opportunity for organizations to support social businesses like Mazí Mas in their efforts to empower marginalized communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Female-Centered Restaurant Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bae.md) - [Emergency Refuge Shelter Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergency-refuge-shelter.md) - [Global Chef Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-chefs.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pop-Up Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-green-vic.md) - [Affordable Chef-Made Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefmade-meals.md) - [Refugee-Supporting Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sunny-honey-home.md) - [Mediterranean Inclusive London Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-camionera.md) - [Pop-Up Takeout Joints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-takeout-joints.md) - [Female Chef Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-by-women.md)
