Meet Chef Wendy Zeng
As a Chengdu native, Chef Wendy Zeng spent her formative years in her grandfather’s kitchen, immersed in the flavors and techniques of the region’s complex cuisine and mastering the intricacies of the region’s diverse palate. At the age of 10, she moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she discovered Southern BBQ and soul food. She realized that, similar to Sichuan cuisine, Southern food is about family, history, and the dishes that bring us together. Her culinary style weaves together the flavors and techniques of her familial roots with LA’s local influences. As the host of thematic pop-ups and supper clubs, she brings the values of her childhood to every table, fostering community through flavorful dining experiences.
