“Being on the show, ‘Top Chef,’ it was very intimidating, scary and nerve-wracking,” said Nguyen, who started working in restaurants after Hurricane Katrina. “It’s like summer camp for chefs but with some yelling, crying and an extremely talented crew.
“I channeled my cooking style to be more southern-focused but honed in on my Vietnamese cooking with a taste of New Orleans. I really wanted to show that to America.”
