Wade Troung was that kid you see in an ethnic restaurant doing homework in the corner. He grew up in the restaurant business and has done everything from prep to front-line cook to top drawer executive chef. He has run the back of the house and the front of the house. He has done every culinary job, including managing a wine shop. Currently, he hangs his hunting gear and kitchen tools in Fredericksburg, Virginia just a little bit south of D.C. Truong is focusing on the brand and company that he and his partner have: Elevated Wild. He is zeroed in on doing the stuff he loves, cooking wild food and exploring the idea of what food is.
