A successful local restaurateur looks forward to the future
By TIM GREGG
To his friends and followers , Chef Tai Lee is ever the optimist : upbeat , creative , and not afraid of hard work . In the past year , those traits have been put to the test as Chef Tai has reinvented himself and his culinary brand since the start of the pandemic .
From the beginning
Growing up in South Korea , Tai Lee was regularly exposed to his mother ’ s and grandmother ’ s restaurant businesses . He watched and learned from his matriarchs , and in 2007 , just five years after graduating from the Mays School of Business at Texas A & M University , he opened his own restaurant , Veritas . After that venture , he added a food truck , Chef Tai Mobile Bistro , to his burgeoning culinary concepts .
