Charles Phan, the acclaimed San Francisco chef and restaurant owner who won two James Beard awards with the innovative food at his Vietnamese restaurant the Slanted Door, has died at age 62, according to his family.
The news of Phan's sudden death was announced in a statement on the Slanted Door Instagram account that was attributed to the Phan family and the Slanted Door Group.'It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the unexpected passing of our beloved leader, visionary, and friend, Chef Charles Phan, due to cardiac arrest,' the post read. Phan reportedly died on Monday.
He worked several jobs before deciding to pursue cooking with his own restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District.Opening on Valencia Street in 1995, the Slanted Door quickly earned rave reviews and a loyal following for its elevated presentation of Vietnamese cuisine. The demand for reservations at the restaurant would eventually outgrow the space, leading Phan to move to a larger South of Market location in 2002 before moving again to its space in the Ferry Building.
