Lam in 2011

Francis Lam is an American food journalist, cookbook editor, and since 2017 the host of American Public Media's The Splendid Table.

Early life and education

Lam was born to Chinese immigrant parents living in New Jersey and working in Manhattan's Chinatown, where they operated a small garment factory.[1] His mother wanted him to go to business, dental, or medical school.[1] Lam remembers trying to hide his "stinky lunches" from schoolmates and that he "wanted to eat what white people ate."[1]

Lam attended the University of Michigan, where he majored in creative writing and Asian studies, graduating in 1997.[1][2] He graduated first in his class[2] from The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in 2003.[1][3]

Career

After graduating from Michigan, Lam moved back to New York and worked as a grant writer for non-profit organizations before attending CIA.[1]

While at CIA, he wrote emails to friends describing his experiences.[1] The emails got passed around, and he was contacted by an editor at Financial Times who had read some of them and asked Lam to write for the publication.[1] In 2004 he met Ruth Reichl, then editor of Gourmet, and started freelancing for Gourmet.[1]

In 2007 he received a contract from Gourmet for regular work.[1] At the time he was living in Biloxi, Mississippi, working part-time for a non-profit helping with cleanup after Hurricane Katrina. In 2009 he moved back to New York.[1]

He has written for Food & Wine, Salon[4] and Bon Appétit and wrote a regular column, Eat,[5] about immigrant cooking for New York Times Magazine.[3][6]

In 2013 he became editor-at-large[7] at Clarkson Potter, editing cookbooks.[8][9][10] One of his first acquisitions was Victuals: An Appalachian Journey by Ronni Lundy.[1][11] He also acquired Tacos: Recipes and Provocations by Alex Stupak and Jordana Rothman, Food of Northern Thailand by Austin Bush, The Jemima Code by Toni Tipton-Martin, Night + Market by Kris Yenbamroong, Chrissy Teigen's Cravings,[8] Eat a Little Better by Sam Kass,[1] and Ryan Jacobs' Truffle Underground.[12]

He was a contributor to and guest host for American Public Media’s The Splendid Table radio show from 2010 until being named in 2017 as the replacement for retiring host Lynne Rossetto Kasper.[8][13] He served two seasons as a judge for Top Chef Masters.[1][3][6][14] He is a board member for Southern Foodways Alliance.[15]

Personal life

Lam met his wife, Christine Gaspar,[16] in Biloxi, Mississippi, while they were both working for organizations helping rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.[1] They married in July 2013.[16] They live in New York City and have a daughter.[1]
