YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

St. Paul, Minnesota, is home to the nation’s largest population of Hmong, an Indigenous people from Southeast Asia. After the Vietnam War, thousands of Hmong refugees ended up in the Upper Midwest and have called the area home for nearly 50 years, but their cooking hadn’t quite found a foothold in the local dining scene. As special correspondent Megan Thompson reports, one chef is changing that.
