“Please join me in welcoming Chef Uno to our exciting line-up of chefs from across the U.S.,” said Polly Madsen, manager of culinary initiatives. “Her background, passion and expertise in delivering absolutely delicious Asian fusion cuisine is going to be a huge asset to the Schwan’s Chef Collective and company.”
Based out of Dallas, Texas, Uno is a first-generation Asian American of Laotian descent. She was born in a Thai refugee camp, where her parents dreamed of giving her a better life. That determination led them to America. Uno pursued a 16-year banking career and although she flourished in her craft, the dream of nourishing people with food inspired by her childhood always lingered.
Uno is now CEO of Uno Brands, founder of Chino Chinatown Restaurant and the chef/owner of RedStix Street Food. In addition to her businesses, Uno has made numerous television appearances including a stint on The Taste with Anthony Bourdain, along with programs on ABC, EyeOpener TV, Fox and Cooking Channel, where she creates recipes and promotional cooking videos for an array of brands.
Additional highlights and awards from Chef Uno’s career include:
- Serving as a judge at the Dallas Market Center’s Gourmet Gold Specialty Food Award.
- Participating in the Chef’s Feed Indie Dinner in Seattle, Washington.
