Why Did André Chiang Give Up His Michelin-Starred Restaurants and Go Back to Taiwan? |

#AndréChiang #Michelin #InnoMinds

The Asian culinary scene is vibrant and full of surprises; Chef Andre Chiang is part of its success.

Born to a chef mother, Andre grew up around Taipei's Shilin night market and in Japan. At 15, he set sail solo for France–a country blessed with deeply fascinating cuisine and culture. From there, Andre worked his way up in the catering world while developing his conception of the craft, summarized in his unique "#octaphilosophy".

A starred chef and multifaceted artist, Andre is a leading figure in Taiwanese cuisine. So, it's only natural he should be featured on #InnoMinds, where his interview with Audrey promises to be flavorful!
