Quân fell in love with the culinary arts thanks to his parents, who taught him how to cook traditional Vietnamese cuisine as he grew up in Flushing, Queens. He has since worked at renowned restaurants across the country: he helped open Brooklyn hot spot Đi Ăn Đi, and went on to master his craft at San Francisco’s Mister Jiu’s (1 Michelin Star), among others.
