"I run Xanh as a Vietnamese street‑food pop‑up around New Orleans, and I design menus that hardly ever repeat because I want to cook food that matters to me; it’s rooted in my Vietnamese upbringing but I add Cajun and Creole flair so the dishes aren’t strictly traditional. I think about my mom every time I cook, and at my pop‑ups I’ve tested items like a baked‑bao‑style crawfish bread with lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce, shrimp paste, and cheese as well as a five‑spice spinach version—both have been big hits." - Justine Jones
