Sam Tran (Gia, Hanoi) - memories and produce.

from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent · host A Deep in the Weeds Production

Perspective in food is so important - when you’re away from home, it’s often powerful food memories that bring you closer. And when you’re in a new place, you bring a fresh eye to the foods you find. Sam Tran has brought her unique perspectives to the food of both Hanoi, in northern Vietnam, and Melbourne, where she started as a chef. She’s soon to return to her second home of Melbourne for events at Aru, bringing dishes from Michelin-starred Gia in Vietnam filtered by Melbourne memories and Australian produce. https://www.sevenrooms.com/experiences/aru/gia-at-aru-4947172526047232 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
