Vucacious Sources Seasonally and Locally From California Produce
By Zach Armstrong
Chef Kim Vu, a Caltech trained research scientist, has reopened her catering showroom at Vucacious Catering in Santa Monica located at 1828 Lincoln Blvd.
Vucacious sources seasonally and locally from California produce. The shop’s menu caters to home delivery, corporate events, valentines and special occasions and more. Menu items include individually boxed reception appetizers such as spanish tapas and italian antipasti misti; a deli selection such as italian wedding soup and roasted butternut squash soup; hot a la carte lunches & dinners such as hanoi black pepper chicken and seared citrus salmon; and displays such as international cheese and imported baked brie.
Vu worked as a UCLA staff scientist at UCLA and was on track to go to medical school, when she decided to take a different direction into the restaurant business. She now brings a two-decade experience of front-of-house and back-of-house roles, learning the process of single-owned restaurants and large groups. Vu, a Texas-born Vietnamese-American, has shown off her culinary skills on television, appearing on Alton Brown’s “Cutthroat Kitchen.”
