Manila Southammavong is a Laotian-American chef cooking up amazing meals with his pop-up: I Eat Laos Food. He can be found at the Queens International Night Market on Saturday nights, at special events, and now for Laotian dinners at Atlantic Social in Brooklyn. We were joined mid-way by his girlfriend and partner at I Eat Lao Food, Kristin Walkes.
In this episode we talk about Manila's upbringing, the political history of Laos, the incredible food in Luang Prabang, food deserts and low income NYC communities, Laos culture in the United States, and much more.
