Khói Barbecue

From Vietnamese refugees to the cover of Texas’ official travel magazine.

Our journey is a testament to the power of food to not only preserve culture and community, but also forge our identity as Texans and Vietnamese Americans.

Thank you @chris_hughestx and the @texashighways team for helping amplify our story. It is an honor to be a part of a publication that’s been around since 1974 - a year before the end of the war and our family touched down in the state.

Much love and gratitude to @danielaloeraphoto for capturing these stunning shots; you and Mike are the absolute best.

We dedicate this to our parents and family. They arrived in Texas with little and sacrificed a lot in order for us to have a better future and be able to pursue our dreams. Con cảm ơn bố mẹ và mọi người.
