Ask For Chef Ito

 

About The restaurant

Mai Nguyen bought Au Lac in 1997 with a special mission in mind. Her own experience overcoming serious illnesses fueled her desire to promote vegetarianism to the local community. In 2001, Chef Ito arrived to enhance Mai’s compassionate vision by adding vegan living foods.

Humanese
Chef Ito coined the term Humanese with the belief that we have more in common than we realize. Rather than see ourselves as separate, we are all merely … and wonderfully … human. No labels, no man-made borders to divide us.
Further, it implies that to survive and thrive as humans, we must have compassion for everything – animals, for plants, and above all, for each other. Nobody is perfect. Breathe. Forgive. Let it go.
Thus, Au Lac specializes in Humanese cuisine.
