BEYOND THE KITCHEN DOORS: Viet Nguyen's Impressive KEI CONCEPTS

OC Talk Radio

About
 My guest , Viet Nguyen Chef / CEO of Kei concepts and I will converse about  how food concepts are created and the ideas and imagination behind those visions. Focusing on this founder's creative fusion of cuisines and styles (like Japanese/Scandanavian).  Creating 12 incredible, highly edible restaurants here in Orange County from INI Ristorante (a one-of-a-kind Japanese/Italian restaurant) to SUP Noodle Bar and ROL (a special Japanese Hand Roll concept).  Concepts that now gross over 100 million dollars annually.  Pretty impressive in today's restaurant world. Particularly for a young chef who came to America from Vietnam as a teenager without any formal training and started cooking here in Orange County on day one.  https://www.keiconcepts.info
