Chef Leah Cohen of Pig & Khao in Manhattan’s East Village may have become a household name after competing on Bravo’s “Top Chef” Season 5, but now she’s making waves of her own, one pork dish at a time.
In this “On Foodable Side Dish” episode, brought to you by the Foodable WebTV Network, Foodable Video Correspondent Agnes Chung gets to the bottom of why Cohen decided on Southeast Asian cuisine, a dramatic shift from her background of being classically trained in French cuisine, and even working up the ranks in notable restaurants such as Eleven Madison Park. Discover the meaning and influences behind Pig & Khao, the best way to authentically research ethnic cuisines, and why it’s especially challenging to gain respect as a female chef in today’s kitchen.
