Chef's Story - Soulayphet Phet Schwader
This week's guest on Chef's Story is Soulayphet "Phet" Schwader. Born in a small village outside the capital of Laos, "Thangone," Soulayphet Schwader immigrated to the U.S. at a very young age. Growing up in Kansas Soulayphet recalls a youth spent clamoring for a ham sandwich instead of the traditional Laotian lunch his mother would pack for him each day. It wasn't until he secured his first job as a fry cook, while studying philosophy in college that the possibilities inherent in his colorful background began to materialize.
