House 1830- Binh Hoang & Vatsana "B" Hoang
Manage episode 439334661 series 3554722
On this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas, we’re at House 1830 in Rogers where we talk to Owner/Chef Binh Hoang and Executive Chef Vatsana Hoang, or B.
House 1830 got the number in its name from the house that Binh and his brother Quang grew up in. The brothers are Vietnamese, but were born in a refugee camp in Thailand, that the family escaped under gunfire.
Binh and his family moved here from Oregon, where he fell in love with the restaurant industry as a teenager, but, as an angsty teenager, he was not cool with how it happened. You’ll hear that story.
It’s a family affair for the Hoangs, but Binh was the first to come to Northwest Arkansas 9 years ago. Before opening House 1830 a year ago, his brother’s family and his parents moved here to NWA. Binh will tell you what moved him here back then.
And then there’s the restaurant. How long was it in the works? How did they find their space?
And the menu! Binh and B will describe what they serve, how they serve it, and get into the cultural relevance of it. As always, we highlight a few popular dishes.
It’s Binh & B from House 1830 in Rogers, next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
