What About Vietnam - S4-2 - Fine dining Vietnam

Meet some of Vietnam's talented chefs.Vietnam is legendary for its street food and fresh flavoursome cuisine.  However you may be surprised to find out it also has a fast growing "Fine Dining" industry championed by some very talented Chefs.  Hear what they have to say about their style of cuisine and restaurant experience.The best part of dining out at one of the Vietnam's top-tier restaurants is the sense of occasion it brings, and my guest Raj Taneja,  Country President of la Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the world's oldest and most respected culinary and hospitality arts association, is on the show to share his knowledge of fine dining in Vietnam, and what we can expect to experience in the future as this industry develops. Raj Taneja, was originally born in Calgary, Canada. While he started his career as a chef at the age of 17 he found he had a bent for the Tech Industry so he ultimately went on to work in that field. After various roles that took him to Japan, which include selling out those successful businesses, he tried semi retiring, to full retirement in Thailand. However his exuberance for new experiences and love of fine food and wine never waned. So after much deliberation he went on to volunteer to champion La Chaines in Vietnam .Raj's role within La Chaines enables him to visit  many fine culinary establishments and 5 star hotels in Vietnam. This makes him the ideal guest to speak about Vietnam's growing love of fine dining and the mavericks that are taking it to world class status.This is an entertaining and illuminating interview with Raj and some of the best chefs in Vietnam:- 1.
