Glechik® owner Vadim Tesler’s family was famous in Odessa - his great-grandmother and grandmother both were the “go-to-gals” when it used to come to an occasion called for large quantities of superior food: the Tesler ladies cooked for the best and the biggest weddings in the city since the beginning of the 20th century.
Their skills and recipes were honed in the most extreme conditions. Everyone’s a critic when it comes to food, and Odessites are known for their quick wit, sharp tongues and worldly tastes (many of them became world-famous, sometimes after having to leave their beloved city by the Black Sea, and settling in another that is famous for the same thing, admittedly on a much grander scale - New York City).
