A Gourmet Destination on The Northern California Coast with Andrew & Liya Truong

Andrew and Liya Truong are stunningly talented chefs. They own and run Terrapin Creek Cafe & Restaurant in the sleepy, small town of Bodega Bay, California. Their fantastic menu garnered them a Michelin Star in 2011. And they have the love and devotion of Bodega Bay citizens and all those traveling along the coast who happen to stop by for a bite.

Liya and Andrew met at culinary school in the early 2000s. Each went on to work at high-end San Francisco restaurants before marrying in 2007 and opening Terrapin Creek Cafe in 2008 (And succeeding, during a recession!). When not working at Terrapin Creek, you can find the Truongs caring for their three children. 

Listen to this episode and join us as we discuss:

  • How Liya’s roots influence her culinary style

  • The story behind “the perfect spot” for Terrapin Creek and how they made the business a success… during a recession!

  • What not to miss if you’re in Bodega Bay (Andrew & Liya’s favorite items on their menu!)

  • What it took to land their Michelin Star

  • Balancing a busy restaurant life with time at home with their three kids

Discover more about the Truongs during their interview on the Bowing to Elephants Podcast, which you can listen to here.
