Morou Ouattara is an executive chef and owner of the Kora and Farrah Olivia restaurants in Arlington, VA. Born and raised on the Ivory Coast in West Africa in a family with 33 children, he combines French, African and Middle Eastern cuisines. He has appeared on Iron Chef America, and was a contestant on The Next Iron Chef, but was eliminated during the 'Resourcefulness' challenge. Unlike most chefs, he uses his first name professionally, preferring to be referred to as 'Chef Morou' instead of 'Chef Ouattara'. ==Career== Morou moved to Washington, DC in 1988 to study computer science. While at school, he worked as a dishwasher at Francesco Ricchi’s I'Ricchi. He stayed there for three years, and progressed through stations of the restaurant's kitchen. In 1991, he left I'Ricchi to work under Mark Miller at Red Sage, and rose to be executive chef. In 2002, Chef Morou moved to be executive chef at Signatures and revealed his own style, a combination of French, African and Middle Eastern flavors, though reviews said in retrospect he restrained himself at the location; one reviewer said, "Watching Ouattara at Signatures was a little like watching a talented filmmaker turning out commercials, the brilliance of his work confined to discrete bursts."〔 He remained there until it closed in 2005. After consulting and appearing on Iron Chef America, Morou opened Farrah Olivia in the fall of 2006.〔(Balducci’s Announces Partnership with Celebrity Chef Morou Ouattara )〕 Freed from the necessity of offering more conventional restaurant fare, Morou began to experiment and gained a reputation for being a brilliant, though inconsistent, chef.〔(Chowhound: Farrah Olivia )〕 Farrah Olivia was closed in April 2009 (because of irreconcilable differences between Morou and his landlord〔(Breaking News: Farrah Olivia Is Closing )〕). After a break Morou (together with his brother) opened Kora,〔(Kora Opens in Crystal City on Thursday: A Chat with Morou )〕 serving trattoria style Italian food. Four days a week, Farrah Olivia is opened in the private dining room of Kora, featuring a more menu like in the old Farrah Olivia.〔(Farrah Olivia to Be Resurrected, in Kora’s Private Dining Room )〕
