The Surprisingly Diverse Food of the Heartland's Factory Towns
Briefly

For 23 years, my grandma's routine focused on hard work in the meat processing plant while nurturing family values through simple daily rituals and community interactions.
My family opened Da Kao Restaurant for more control over our future, transforming our culinary traditions into a business that became an extension of home.
Da Kao represented more than just a restaurant; it was a place where our family’s history and culture lived on through food and community.
Customers at Da Kao were like extended family, enjoying dishes that carried our heritage, serving as a bridge between our past in Vietnam and present in Sioux City.
