Memorable Quotes:

“What I truly enjoy is sharing my culture. I am from a half and half family. My mom is from Texas, and my dad is from Thailand, so I’m a Thai Texan. I’ve pretty much lived on both sides of the world, almost equally at this point, and being that person who knows how this side of the globe thinks, and how that side of the globe thinks, and kind of merging that together, and explain it from two points of views is what people truly enjoy.”  [16:20] - Chef Nikky

 

“I believe that women need to continue to uplift other women coming through, especially in the entrepreneurial world. It is hard, and if I can share a lot of the things that I did incorrectly so that nobody else has to really spend the money or the time, wasted on a lesson that I already had learned, I’m all for it!”  [25:00] -Chef Nikky
