Chef Quan Ngo is a Michelin-trained Vietnamese-American chef currently based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In 2017, he helped open up Di an Di in Greenpoint, pushing Vietnamese American culture and the regional food that shaped its story.
His current dinner series is a dive into his upbringing in Flushing, Queens, a hub of cultural diversity in food. As a Vietnamese-American born Queens, he revisits these food cultures that shaped who he is as a cook today.
In this current dinner collaboration with Hana Makgeoli, Quan brings back his memories of going with his friends to Korean community cookouts, family outings to Northern Blvd, and drunk nights out eating jokbal and golbaengi muchim.
