Business
This is our most SPECIAL episode as we get to chat with my greatest mentor and biggest influences in my life both professional and personal, Chef Tien Ho. This is PART 1 of our 2 part conversation with Tien, because we felt this conversation deserved its own week. We get to go deep into Tien's past and learn about his humble beginnings and what he and his family had to go through in order to immigrate over to America. In this episode, Tien reminisces about the days of cooking on the line with now culinary giants in America's restaurant industry. Even the greats had to start somewhere and his story is seemingly not so different from anyone who's just trying to find their voice and learn their ways in their 20's and 30's. His thirst for knowledge is what led him into the legendary kitchens of old school Cafe Bolud and eventually Cafe Gray, and no amount of adversity could keep him from learning the skills he felt he needed in his life. Please just sit back, enjoy and try to absorb as much wisdom as you can from the stories we uncover from the early life of the great Tien Ho.
