One thing we noticed at our former Vermont Thai Restaurant was that sometimes a couple or family would come in to dine and would request American food. Maybe the husband was in the mood for a burger or the kids found Thai food a bit “too different” and wanted something more familiar. We always felt a bit sad that we couldn’t accommodate them. That was one thing we were determined to change when we started Victoria’s Cafe. Everyone should be able to enjoy a meal together.
Also, during Kae’s hiatus from her own business, she spent more than 3 years learning how to prepare American and other ethic dishes at Chef’s Corner, Olive Garden, Panera Bread and Chili’s. Each place was unique in both methods and recipes, but Kae enjoyed the challenges of preparing dishes for her customers.
She really cares about her customers and wants to make sure they are happy. She even manages to remember her customer’s favorites, how they want their food prepared and does so whenever they come back to dine.
Once word got out at Chili’s that Kae was cooking, customers would make a point to come back and ask their waitress to have the “Asian lady” prepare their food, as it always looked fantastic. No doubt based on some of the web reviews that were posted and mentioned her.
