Sunday Supper
with Viet Pham

Viet was born in a refugee camp in Malaysia, and immigrated to the U.S. when he was just 7 months old. Spending his formative years in California, the first-generation Vietnamese-American chef gives major props to his parents for their sacrifices that shaped the man he is today — both personally and professionally.

Pham first appeared on Food Network in 2012 on Extreme Chef, where he placed second. Since then, he has become a familiar face on the channel, with appearances in more than a dozen shows. From Food Network Star and Guy’s Grocery Games to Iron Chef Eats, Kitchen Inferno, and Supermarket Stakeout, he’s competed against — and alongside — some of the biggest names in the culinary space. His victories on Iron Chef America and Beat Bobby Flay have cemented his legacy as one of the most innovative chefs to compete on Food Network. Most recently, he returned to the spotlight on House of Knives, where he once again proved that pressure only sharpens his edge.

He is the recipient of many awards and nominations, including Food and Wine's Best New Chef and a three-time James Beard Award nominee. Chef Pham lives in Utah with his wife Alexis and runs Pretty Bird, a growing fast-casual spot known for Nashville-style hot chicken. The restaurant has four locations across the state — two in Salt Lake City, one in Midvale and one in Park City.
