Godfather Of Modern Vietnamese Cuisine Charles Phan To Cook In Brooklyn

Charles Phan was brewing up bowls of Vietnamese noodle soup long before most Americans had ever heard of pho  or knew how to pronounce it properly. That is to say, way before it was cool. So it was really only a matter of time until the man behind San Francisco's heralded Slanted Door made his way to trendsetting Brooklyn.

Williamsburg's Wythe Hotel is hosting the influential cook for a three-day series of pop-up dinners, beginning February 15. (Check out the menu below.) And no, the godfather of modern Vietnamese cuisine is not taking reservations. Walk-ins only. Interesting timing, too, what with two of Phan's former acolytes soon to be opening a similar-themed modern Vietnamese restaurant in Brooklyn.
