Enjoy Vietnamese-Style and Savory Southern Sliders 

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

At his acclaimed Washington, D.C. modern Vietnamese restaurant Moon Rabbit, four-time James Beard award–nominated chef Kevin Tien pays tribute to his heritage as a first-generation Asian American. For this event chef Tien will draw on both his Vietnamese identity and his upbringing in Louisiana.   

Chef Tien will show guests a traditional Cha Ca La Vong, the famous Hanoian dish of turmeric fish with dill. Guests will also enjoy catfish sliders with the same flavor profiles; a Westernized riff on the recipe he’ll be teaching.  

Eat, learn, and listen as chef Tien shares how his heritage and his upbringing intertwine with the aromatic flavors and techniques that shape his version of Asian American food.
