Honolulu’s own Andrew Le—chef and founder of the award-winning @pigandthelady—returns to #HFWF25 for Slanted & Phan-tastic: A Celebration of Charles Phan @alohilaniresort on Thursday, October 30! From humble pop-up beginnings to an international outpost in Tokyo, Andrew’s bold, Vietnamese-inspired flavors have redefined island dining. But what makes this night extra special? His chance to honor someone who changed the game for him—and for so many others. 🙌 As @fishsaucebordelaise shares... “Uncle Charles, what we affectionately called him, revolutionized the perception and status of Vietnamese cuisine, and by extension, other Asian cuisines, in the American dining scene and beyond. Through the Slanted Door, his work has paved the way for restaurants like mine to be equally accepted amongst higher end western cuisines. It was also through his visionary leadership and passion to share his culture that helped give me courage to explore my own 2nd generation immigrant American story.” Join us as we raise a glass to Chef Charles Phan and celebrate a night of bold flavors crafted by a star-studded lineup of chefs he admired and inspired!
