Khmai Fine Dining Is a New Chicago Restaurant Serving Cambodian Food in Rogers Park | Eater Chicago

"A Rogers Park church whose kitchen and events provided an early platform for the family’s cooking: the mother catered community gatherings there and the family used the church kitchen to formalize their catering work, which helped them reach local Cambodian congregants and refine dishes before launching a restaurant. The church’s catering operation was later paused during the pandemic, but its facilities and community connections were integral to the business’s beginnings." - Naomi Waxman
