Dan Hong - Challenger on Iron Chef Australia

Dan Hong was so keen on competing on Iron Chef Australia that he delayed his honeymoon!

25 year old Dan mixes Asian influences with fresh European flavours and modern cooking techniques.
His mother Angie Hong, is an icon in Vietnamese cuisine in Sydney. In 1993 she opened her first Vietnamese restaurant in Cabramatta and quickly followed with a second in Newtown both are renowned for great authentic Vietnamese food.

Inspired by his mother’s love for Vietnamese food and his family heritage, 25-year-old Dan is currently opening another restaurant which will feature modern Vietnamese sharing plates.

Dan will be ably assisted in the Iron Chef kitchen by Sous Chef’s Jowett Yu and Tom Hoi.
