In a remarkable narrative of ambition, skill, and culinary innovation, David Ho, a young chef from Sterling, Virginia, has etched his name into culinary history as the youngest champion on Food Network's "Chopped" at 22 years old. This title is not just a testament to his extraordinary talent but also marks the beginning of what promises to be a luminous journey in the gastronomic world.
Under the mentorship of John Gronkiewicz at Redbird in Los Angeles, Ho honed his craft with a focus on innovation and excellence. His journey then took him to Washington, D.C., where he worked at the high-end Vietnamese concept, Moon Rabbit. Today, Ho is channeling his passion and expertise into promoting Vietnamese flavors through his ventures: Sen and Hue. Sen offers a deep dive into the rich world of Vietnamese coffee, while Hue brings the essence of Vietnamese dishes to the forefront with pop-up events. Both of which signify the lotus, a symbol of new beginnings and elevate your experience with add-on beverage parings with the sake+ cocktails or nonalcoholic options by Louie Anne Batac-Nguyen from @capitalsake.
