OAKLAND - Tu David Phu

Published: May 21, 2020, 10 a.m.

Oakland Represent! That's the community that today's guest reps 100%. Chef Tu David Phu didn't grow up like most of us. His upbringing was riddled with violence, turmoil, and economic strife. From a family with both parents working minimum wage jobs and growing up in a neighborhood where gang violence and murder were just part of life, Tu found himself stuck between 2 worlds. The word "Culture" had no bearing of nationality or race or even family to him. He is a product of his community and that is what he devotes his life to now. He uses his passion for cooking as a platform to spread his message of positivity and perseverance throughout his community now and beyond. His story will inspire, sadden, challenge, and uplift you all at the same time. This is one of our favorite interviews yet, and we hope you enjoy the show!
