ChefMimi Lan on Clubhouse
Bio
👩🏻🍳I’m a personal & popup dinner chef who curates thoughtful, immersive dining experiences. My signature VIGLO (Vietnamese + global) cuisines is about using inspirations from my extensive travels & trainings at the world’s most celebrated Michelin restaurants (Per Se, Gaggan’s) while honoring traditional flavors of the past.
🎗️My annual trips to Vietnam for my mission work have given me an intimate window into the evolution of Vietnamese food for the past 20 years.
🍠 🥦My goal is to use my food to connect with people and to elevate Vietnamese + global cuisines by applying my cooking philosophy: premium local ingredients; innovation; healthier adaptations; and sustainable practices.
MY STORY
🍜 My family & I immigrated to the US after the fall of Saigon, Vietnam, when I was a child & it was my aunt’s makeshift phở shop that taught me the power of food. Her comforting bowls of phở brought dispirited strangers together to congregate in her tiny one-bedroom apartment to connect while slurping her delicious phở.
That lesson of the power of food as nourishment not just for the body but also the soul always stuck with me & shaped my journey as a chef.
