Why we brunch: Since 2000, Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse has been dedicated to recovery - working side by side with men and women who’ve experienced a brain injury as they recover community, purpose, and hope.

For Chai Pani’s Executive Chef, Sahar Siddiqi, the mission of Side by Side hits close to home. She became intimately connected to the brain injury community when she was eight years old and her grandfather suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed on the right side of his body (known as hemiplegia). That experience shaped her understanding of brain injury and caregiving as not just something that changes a person, but something that calls for the right kind of support, patience, and community.
