Go Eat Give Destination Vietnam
Join us on a culinary and cultural journey to Vietnam at this Buford Highway favorite. Drawing on a rich French and Southeast Asian heritage, Chateau Saigon showcases a different side of Vietnamese cuisine – one that displays a blend of flavors and textures unique to the region and its roots. Family style menu will include Grilled pork rolls, Egg rolls, Papaya salad w shrimp & pork, Pho, Shaken Beef, Basil Chicken, Lemongrass Tofu, Fried fish w Lemongrass sauce and Orange for dessert.
Our first speaker is Boaky Vu, a refugee from Saigon, who graduated from Georgia Tech and Georgetown University. Vu's family were party to the introduction of Pho to the larger Atlanta community, through the founding of Pho Hoa and subsequently Viet Chateau. Vu has appeared as political guest commentator on CNN, and been often cited in local and national papers such as USA Today, Washington Times and the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.
Jenny Huynh is a managing partner at the lawfirm Caldwell and Huynh. She serves on the boards of the Georgia Vietnamese American Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Asian American Professionals, and will be sharing her story of backpacking across Vietnam as a Vietnamese American.
Listen to Vietnamese love songs performed by Laura, a vocalist often seen at the Vietnamese Catholic Church in Norcross.
