About the event
Chef Tu trained in the nation’s top restaurants only to realize the culinary lessons that truly impacted him were the ones passed on by his parents, refugees from Phú Quôc. In his hometown of Oakland, California, his parents taught him hard-won lessons in frugality, food-covery cooking, and practical eating.
Centered around Tu’s childhood memories in the Bay Area and family stories of life on Phú Quốc island, The Memory of Taste explores the Phu family’s ability to thrive and adapt from one coastal community to another.
Co authored by Soleil Ho, Chef Tu’s book is one for the permanent collection. Come meet him, get your book, and help celebrate. Entry free, RSVP requested.
