Syed Asim Hussain
Co-founder, Black Sheep Restaurants
Location: Hong Kong
Since 2012, Asim has opened more than 20 eateries under Black Sheep Restaurants, the hospitality group he co-founded. In December 2018, he became the youngest restaurateur in the world to hold two Michelin stars—one each for neo-Parisian bistro Belon and New Punjab Club, the world’s first Punjabi restaurant to be awarded the coveted accolade. With the opening of Canton Disco in Shanghai in 2018, Asim set his sights on taking his distinctive dining vision to the wider world.
