About Chef Kim Vu
Master Chef, Media Personality, Scientist,
& Serial Entrepreneur
Vucacious Catering’s Chef Kim Vu is a master chef and caterer with more than 25 years of experience in all aspects of the restaurant, catering, and food hospitality industry. She has excelled at front-of-house and back-of-house restaurant roles, learning effective processes that contribute to the success of both single-concept restaurants and catering events for large groups and intimate gatherings.
Chef Kim is also a Caltech-trained research scientist, who brings scientific precision to her food preparation, menu planning, and event execution.
She mentored with the area’s top private chefs, completing a Master Chef Apprenticeship in 2009, and learned the catering craft at several of southern California’s best-known catering companies.
Chef Kim launched Vucacious Catering in 2012 to perfect the art of catering as a hospitality-centric business, founded on excellent customer service, delicious dishes, and flawless execution.
While she is classically trained in an array of culinary techniques, Chef Kim draws from her diverse heritage as a Texas-born, Vietnamese-American living in Los Angeles to inform and present her food.
Chef Kim has also made a number of TV appearances, including Alton Brown’s Cutthroat Kitchen and was featured in INSESSION’s season one episode, “Entertaining at Home with Chef Kim Vu,” produced in partnership with WestEdge Design Fair and the 2020 Pasadena Showcase House of Design. Chef Kim is also the Chef in Residence for the Santa Monica Farmers Market.
Chef Kim is available on request for event and menu consultations, private cooking classes, food styling, media engagements, and more.
