Khanh Nguyen, founder and CEO of Zalat Pizza, joins the show as a special guest (2:55). Nguyen shares what it was like to leave a mansion in Vietnam to come live in a dorm room in the U.S. with his family of 11. He also discusses how he got into law, and then restaurants—and why his late-night Vietnamese restaurant unexpectedly became a service-industry hotspot. Nguyen outlines how Zalat came to be and its recent in-house motto: “Made with pride. Shared with joy. Built for a millennium.” Later in the show, Brian Hernandez joins to recap the 4th annual Galbani Professionale Pizza Cup (1:11:47).
