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.
