In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we're highlighting Denver’s acclaimed restaurant Sắp Sửa, from Vietnamese American chef Ni Nguyen and his partner, Chef Anna Nguyen, alongside chef Long Nguyen and Best Chef Mid-Atlantic 2024 nominee, Chef Kevin Tien of Moon Rabbit. Recently recognized as 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist for Emerging Chef, the husband-and-wife team celebrate the voices and food of first-generation Vietnamese Americans––or the Việt Kiều experience––with innovative spins on traditional Vietnamese dishes like Trúng Và Trúng (brown butter soft scrambled egg, named as one of The New York Times’ Best Dishes of 2024. Their signature dish, bắp cải luộc (charred cabbage) reflects Chef Ni’s unique culinary perspective as a first-gen Vietnamese American and his deep connection to his childhood food memories in Orange County, CA. This celebratory evening will honor the rich food traditions of Vietnamese culture while empowering a wholly unique generation of AAPI chefs.
