Chef Yia Vang

Life started out quite difficult when Chef Yia Vangs parents had to flee their home country and find refuge. His parents tried very hard with their 7 children. Chef Yia Vang's love for Prime Rib made him take a job as a dishwasher then he became one of the GREATEST chefs we have today teaching us all about his beautiful culture. Take a listen to his amazing story.

TV personality Chef Yia Vang (chef/owner of Minneapolis’ Union Hmong Kitchen) is known to have taken an unconventional approach to his nomadic Hmong cuisine fighting his way to the top of the Minneapolis food scene 

As recently seen on Good Morning America, James Beard nominated him EATERS “Chef of the Year,”  Chef Yia Vang has had one of his busiest years to date with his projects including competing as a challenger on Netflix’s “Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend” hosting Food Network’s “Stoked,” and now with the release of his new thrilling cooking and culture series “Feral” now airing and streaming on the Outdoors Channel.
