Chef Yia Vang's pork katsu sando with honey slaw
Chef Yia Vang hosts Outdoor Channel's "Feral," a show about wilderness adventure and the thrill of the hunt.
Vang, who is Hmong American, was born in a Thai refugee camp where he lived until his family resettled in central Wisconsin. The James Beard-nominated chef has since appeared on National Geographic, "Iron Chef" and in Bon Appetit, and is the founder of Union Hmong Kitchen. He is currently developing a new restaurant, Vinai, which he plans to open in northeast Minneapolis in spring 2024.
Vang recently visited "GMA3" to cook up his pork katsu sando with honey slaw.
