Chefs Loryn Nalic and Miro Uskokovic have long bonded over their love for Balkan baking, despite living hundreds of miles apart. It's no wonder their flagship businesses, Balkan Treat Box near St. Louis and Hani's in New York, are breakout successes, acting as tentpoles of a nationwide surge in Balkan cuisine. Through every achievement, including Nalic's 2026 James Beard Award win for Best Chef: Midwest, the two have cheered each other on.

Ahead of their reunion next week here at Platform, where they will collaborate on a blowout Balkan feast, we interviewed the chef-friends to learn about the richness of Balkan cuisine, and why it's having its moment in the U.S. now.
