ABOUT ANDREW LE, CHEF/OWNER, THE PIG & THE LADY – Considered one of the “new kids in the kitchen” in the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement, Andrew Le is creating and adding his own flair to Hawaii’s culinary scene by using his cultural roots to inspire his tastes. Creator, owner and chef, Le is the mastermind behind the innovative restaurant, The Pig & The Lady. Le is currently the only chef among Hawaii’s culinary cognoscenti cooking contemporary food built on Vietnamese flavors – a foundation built on delicious memories first introduced by his mother. Along Le’s gastronomic journey, he has learned how cooking can bring people together: everyone from the farmer, to the rancher and fisherman, and of course, to the restaurant staff and the diner.

Season Two is currently airing on PBS Hawai‘i and online at pbs.org.
