Hugh Amano
Born in a tiny Colorado mountain town to an American mother and Japanese father, Hugh Amano’s devotion to exploring food and culture has taken him around the world, enriching him as a chef and writer. A graduate of The University of Colorado and New England Culinary Institute, he was the opening sous chef of Chicago’s exploration of Macanese cuisine, Fat Rice, and co-authored The Adventures of Fat Rice (Ten Speed Press, 2016). He is a chef and writer in Chicago, where the familiar comforts of ramen always welcome him home.
