Born and raised in Honolulu, Chef Andrew Le was always inspired by his mother’s authentic Vietnamese cooking. In 2011, he started a pop-up called the Pig and the Lady (@PigandtheLady). While the pop-up still makes an appearance at the farmers markets, the Pig and the Lady now has a permanent location in the heart of Honolulu’s chinatown.
While we were in Hawaii, I just wanted to eat seafood for every meal. After realizing that our resort in Kaanapali was a stone’s throw away from the Fish Market, we made a beeline over there for our first lunch.
Inspired by his mother’s sweet cheese crepes, Andrey Verbitsky and his wife Natalie opened up Crêpe & Co (@CrepeCoCafe) last year on Queen West, just east of Dufferin.
Famous for serving up one of the best pizza slices in NYC, we decided to brave the line and make the trek out to Midwood, Brooklyn.
