Mr. Jong brought the community together for a night celebrating Viet Cajun—a bold, flavorful take on seafood boil shaped by Vietnamese immigrants in the American South. This event wasn’t just about the food (though there was plenty of buttery, spicy, finger-licking goodness); it was a tribute to the cultural fusion and resilience behind the cuisine. Guests gathered around long tables, sharing stories, cracking shells, and savoring every bite of this uniquely American immigrant tale.
