"When we came to the United States, we just had the clothes on our backs, because we didn’t go home and pack. We didn’t have any money. We lived in low-income housing for six months. My parents knew that we couldn’t live there forever, so both of them went out, got jobs, saved enough money to buy the house that they lived in for almost 50 years." - Tan Pham shares his family's story from Saigon to La Crosse, fifty years after leaving Vietnam

Tan Pham acts as a cultural ambassador, leading tour groups to experience the food and culture of Vietnam firsthand through his company, Cuisine Adventure Tours.
