The kitchen is the heart of the home, and for Venat’s family, it was a place of traditions, stories, and love. She began developing her culinary skills at a young age alongside her Mother and other family members. During these times, she absorbed the time-honored recipes and cooking techniques passed down through generations, while also sharing family specialties at local events and food fairs.

Venat navigated a diverse culinary landscape in the United States, one teeming with flavors and traditions from around the world. While embracing new experiences, she held fast to her roots, never letting go of her profound love for her Laotian heritage. This fusion of cultures kindled a creative culinary vision within her.

Great Wall, the product that is the culmination of Venat’s journey, isn't just a place to eat; it is a celebration of family traditions, a bridge between two worlds, and an invitation to explore the beautiful integration of cultures. It is a testament to the power of the kitchen and a symbol of the enduring magic of food. Great Wall and Venat believe that food can bring people together, while fostering cultural understanding and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
