The Chef

Tristan Kwong is a Cantonese American chef whose cooking reflects both his cultural heritage and the diverse environment of his upbringing. Raised in Queens, NYC—one of the most culturally rich places in the world—Tristan’s culinary perspective is shaped equally by his lived experience and his roots. His food, often cooked over an open fire, aims to be both comforting and unexpected. With time spent at Bonnie’s in Brooklyn, he has developed a style he calls “New Cantonese American”—a reimagining of Chinese and American classics that blurs the line between the two in thoughtful, delicious ways.
