Mamadou Savane
When Mamadou Savane was growing up in Guinea, West Africa, his grandfather predicted his smile would be his future. Now, as owner of Sav's Grill and Sav's Chill in Lexington, Savane makes that truth a reality every day for his customers. Opening the grill in 2008 gave Savane the chance to recreate something he grew up with—family, neighbors and friends sharing good food and companionship. Sav's Grill has since become a routine lunch and dinner destination.
Although he migrated here 22 years ago after meeting is wife Rachel, Savane considers himself a Lexingtonian. Never was this more evident than when the community came together to support him and his family after a kitchen accident left Savane with 2nd degree burns over most of his body. He's now fully healed and back at work making and serving his delicious West African cuisine with his trademark smile.
