Welcome to feedthepudge! I was originally born in Saigon, Vietnam and my family and I spent some time at a refugee camp in the Philippines. We eventually immigrated to Seattle in the 90's, where I've spent most of my life. I created feedthepudge as a vehicle for me to share my love of culture and food, while passing on my family's recipes and stories. Most of the recipes shared are Vietnamese dishes I grew up eating, but definitely not limited to just that - I'll also be sharing some of my favorites along the way!
