Square: Datz Deli

In Queens, Datz Deli started as a small Guyanese family-owned shop, but one viral sensation—the Mac Patty—changed everything. Blending American comfort food with Guyanese tradition, the dish put Joshua Dat’s dream on the map: lifting his family out of poverty and building an empire where each relative could run their own store. But as he opens his third location in a high-stakes Times Square ghost kitchen, the weight of success threatens to crush him. With his entire family depending on him and the pressure to keep up with internet hype, Joshua struggles to balance ambition, family, and the fear of losing everything. Datz Deli is a story of food, sacrifice, and the unseen cost of turning a dream into a brand.
