Tu David Phu | The Memory of Taste

Top Chef alum Tu David Phu joins Google to talk about his book, "The Memory of Taste: Vietnamese American Recipes from Phú Quoc, Oakland, and the Spaces Between." The book is a playful collection of over 85 Vietnamese and Viet American dishes, and immersive travel photography that blends Tu's modern culinary style with food wisdom from his refugee family.

Chef Tu is a San Francisco Rising Star Chef and chef-partner at Gigi's, a Vietnamese-inspired wine bar in San Francisco. His culinary path began in his mother's Oakland garden, and developed in prestigious kitchens across New York and San Francisco. Beyond the kitchen, Chef Tu shares his family's story through the Emmy-nominated PBS film Bloodline.
