Nikki Tran, who is famous for her role in the Netflix series "Ugly Delicious", serves up her brand of "Viejun" (Vietnamese-Cajun) cuisine at her two contemporary Vietnamese seafood restaurants, Kau Ba Kitchen in Houston and Kau Ba Quan in Ho Chi Minh City.
Nikki, a native of Saigon who also lived briefly in Houston, Texas, the birthplace of the Viet-Cajun movement, calls her cooking style a blend of Vietnamese and other cultures but is determined that it isn't referred to as fusion food.
