Our chef Trang Lu is a native of Vietnam. She was born in the MekonG Delta of

Vietnam, grew up and worked in the city of Saigon. Her job in Saigon gave her

extensive opportunities to travel across the various provinces and cities in her native

country, allowing her to experience a wide variety of delicious dishes.

Their businesses

provided opportunities for them to travel across the United States and around the

world. Together they searched out various Vietnamese restaurants hoping to find

authentic dishes similar to the ones Trang yearned for from back home. Trang and Mike

missed her mother’s cooking with homemade recipes that she never found anywhere

else in Tennessee or other places they visited.
