MING TSAI
CELEBRITY CHEF DINNER HOST
Ming Tsai is an American restaurateur, television personality, and celebrity chef. Tsai’s restaurants have focused on east–west fusion cuisine, and have included major stakes in Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and Blue Dragon in the Fort Point Channel area
of Boston. Ming holds degrees from Yale and Cornell Universities, as well as the Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.
In 2020, Ming founded MingsBings
In 2017, Chef’s wife Polly was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. As
they explored medical treatment options at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Polly also made the decision to transition to a vegan diet with the hope
of lowering inflammation by using food as medicine. Ming knew he could create delicious options while at home, but was disappointed by the options he found in the grocery store to stock up on while he was away for work trips.
In that moment, MingsBings was born to create a product full of easily recognized ingredients and most importantly, absolutely delicious. Beyond being filled with delicious superfoods.
