Scott Marquis is an American Chef making his home in Vietnam. La Fiesta was an opportunity to fill a niche here in Saigon, as there weren't that many places taking Tex-Mex/Mexican seriously when he and his wife opened up 6 years ago. They worked hard to build themselves a great reputation for making tasty Tex-Mex food and drinks, with big portions and great service. Their second location La Fiesta Phu My Hung has been open for almost 2 years now. 

Scott has been in the F&B industry since high school, and has been cooking for 30 years now. He is self taught, and has been lucky to have some great teachers.

Awadhi cuisine is famous for its cooking style achieved through the magical blending of spices, slow-fire cooking and its seasonal harmony with nature. Prashant , a senior advocate from Lucknow, is an ardent connoisseur of Awadhi food and takes great pride in his knowledge of all things food. He was once featured on an episode of “Lost Recipes” (History Channel), where he demonstrated wood fire cooking of a partridge, a game bird. 

Apart from food, his affinity to the Awadhi culture shines through in his love for Ghazals and shayari (forms of Urdu poetry) which also lead him to self-learn to read and write Urdu.
