Pull up a seat at the kitchen table where Trevor Lui spices up our conversation with a mix of family traditions and his love for the industry. Revel in the comfort of North American Chinese food from the past where culture and cuisine dance a tango of taste and memory. This chat isn't just about food; it's a window into how recipes like ginger beef weave through the fabric of our diverse dining tapestry, creating a flavour-filled narrative that's uniquely Canadian.
If you’ve ever wondered how the dining room table can become a forum for civil discourse, we get into the meat of it, examining how culinary creations can soften hearts and open minds to meaningful conversations. Our episode serves up a feast of thought-provoking insights as we simmer down the historical essence of these dishes and unwrap their stories—which are as layered as the finest pastry.
With Lunar New Year – marking the Year of the Dragon – on the horizon, Trevor offers insights into the delicate balance between preserving cultural authenticity and commercialization in festive traditions. He also shares reflections on his family's journey from Hong Kong to entrepreneurship, highlighting the persistent challenges immigrants encounter in the hospitality industry.
