Anson has been working in the hospitality industry for 20 years, primarily in Chinese restaurants. He understands firsthand the challenges that come with running a restaurant and feels that the industry can be limiting, especially without support from the local community. Anson believes that the key to success in the industry is building strong networks and connections, but he has found that it can be difficult to make those connections without the right support.

He feels that the industry can be lonely and that it’s often a case of “it’s not what you know, but who you know”. As an Asian chef, Anson has found it easier to connect with other Asian chefs, but he believes that it’s important to expand his network beyond that circle. By joining the Asian Chef Club, Anson hopes to connect with other chefs and industry professionals who can offer him support, mentorship, and opportunities for growth.

The Asian Chef Club provides an opportunity for young Asian chefs to meet and connect with each other. Many of these chefs arrived in Australia and have struggled to build their networks in the hospitality industry. Roc, who went through this experience himself, understands the challenges that young chefs face and believes in giving back to the community. He was fortunate to meet people like Johnny who have taught him everything Xero to scheduling and costings, who provided him with valuable support and mentorship.

Now, Roc wants to offer the same kind of support to other young chefs in the Asian community. By joining the Asian Chef Club, members can benefit from Roc’s experience and expertise, as well as connect with other like-minded chefs who share their passion for Asian cuisine and culture.
