Cajun BOIL was established by Chef Yu and her husband Dr. Lei. Opening a restaurant has always been Chef Yu’s childhood dream. Chef Yu was raised by her grandparents in a small village in northwestern China. Her grandmother worked as a Chef for more than 20 years, and her grandfather’s family used to own a local famous restaurant in Szechuan, China back in 1930s. The entire childhood memories are full of grandparents’ care, and she grew up with unbeatable grandmother’s love meal. Due to her grandparents’ impact, little Yu started learning and cooking for herself at the age of 8 not only because she is interested in food, but also because she has passion about cooking good food for families and friends. After Yu received her bachelor degree in China, she went to continue study in Hospitality Management in Florida International University (FIU) and received her Master Degree in Hospitality Management in 2011.
