Loryn and Edo Nalic's Balkan Treat Box is food made from memories of Bosnia
More from
The Splendid Table
Last year, our team spent a few days in St. Louis, where we met a lot of wonderful food lovers including Loryn and Edo Nalic, the very gracious couple who own a Bosnian restaurant called Balkan Treat Box. The restaurant started as a food truck serving up unique Bosnian dishes around the city. But before either the restaurant or the truck, there was a relationship, a story of love that crossed many oceans to bring Loryn and Edo together. They talked with Francis Lam about how they met while working in the service industry and the connection that Loryn felt towards the food of Edo's motherland.
