How Ann Ahmed Is Paving a New Path for Southeast Asian Food in the Twin Cities - Eater Twin Cities
"Lemongrass was Ann Ahmed's first restaurant, opened when she was 25. Located in Brooklyn Park, it was initially presented as a Thai restaurant to appeal to the local demographic, who often mistook it for a Chinese restaurant. The early days were challenging, with no official menu, music from a boombox, and family helping out. Despite these challenges, it laid the foundation for Ahmed's culinary career." - Jon Cheng
