I spent a few days with the truly charming Pao family in their kitchen at
Mosa Asian Bistro not just to photograph their food but to help them document their restaurant story and their passion for food. Here are a few shots that include the kitchen to table process and some interpretive photos for the new menu board concepts emphasizing fresh and made to order. Yes, I got to eat some of my favorite meals after the shoot but the best part was getting to know the Pao family. Go visit them. They'll make sure your first visit won't be your last.
Thanks so much Michelle, Eddie, Mrs. Pao, Alex, and Laura for having me, as you put it best, "collaborate" with you.
